Argentina's defense remains intact. 'Dibu' Martinez is the goalkeeper with the most minutes without conceding goals in the history of the 'Albiceleste'.
The Argentina National Team is at the top of the South American Qualifiers. The team led by Lionel Scaloni defeated Paraguay 1-0 in the third match and reached the top with 9 points.
In addition to their third World Cup victory in Qatar 2022 and their exceptional performance that positions them as the best national team currently, the 'Albiceleste' is also preserving a great record regarding goals conceded.

In fact, they are enjoying a good streak without conceding any goals. Emiliano Martinez has kept his goal clean for seven games in a row. After the World Cup, 'Dibu' had three games out of seven without conceding goals, but after the final against France, which ended 3-3 and was decided on penalties, the Aston Villa goalkeeper played 4 friendly matches and 3 official matches.
Panama (2-0), Curacao (7-0), Australia (2-0), and Indonesia (2-0) were the friendly matches in which he did not concede any goals. In the Qualifiers, the record extended with Ecuador (1-0), Bolivia (3-0), and Paraguay (1-0). Martinez surpassed the record that Germán 'Mono' Burgos had as the goalkeeper with the most minutes without conceding a goal for the 'Albiceleste' (608 minutes). Now, 'Dibu' holds the best record, with 630 minutes without conceding goals.
Meanwhile, the Peruvian National Team, after their 2-0 defeat against Chile in Santiago, is preparing to face this Argentina team that is in great form. Peru has never reached the fourth matchday of the Qualifiers without scoring a goal. In this 2026 process, their first goal could come against the 'Albiceleste' (F4) or the poor record could continue.
???????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????́????????????????????. Since the adoption of the round-robin format in the Qualifiers, Peru reaches the fourth matchday without scoring a single goal for the first time.
