Continuing their preparation cycle without losses, the Argentine national team outperformed the South American champions in friendly matches in Saudi Arabia.

Lionel Messi led his protégés to a narrow victory against the Brazilians.

In the 10th minute, the Brazilians had the opportunity to take the lead, but Gabriel Jesus missed from the penalty spot.
