Two games, two wins for Argentina to start the World Cup Qualifiers as the Albiceleste picked up a huge 2-1 victory away to Bolivia in La Paz, thanks to goals from Lautaro Martínez and Joaquín Correa. Barcelona captain Lionel Messi played all 90 minutes in the altitude and clearly suffered the effects along with his teammates, but Argentina found a way to come back and win the most challenging game in the South American Qualifiers, something not a lot of teams will do.

Playing in La Paz is pretty much the same as playing in Mount Everest, and teams who aren’t used to the altitude suffer A LOT, and that’s exactly what happened with Argentina.
