The match, played around July 8-9, secured Argentina’s advancement in the tournament. Martínez emphasized that composure was the difference-maker, crediting the culture built under coach Scaloni over recent years.
After the final whistle, Martínez shared a notable moment with Lionel Messi, praising the captain’s continued inspiration and leadership. Martínez has accumulated 83 caps and 39 goals for the national team as of mid-2026.
