NewsAlexis Mac Allister scores as Argentina beat Chile in World Cup qualifying

The Liverpool midfielder produced a smart first-time finish after breaking into the penalty area in the early stages of the second half of Thursday night’s match in Buenos Aires. He was then substituted around 10 minutes before full-time.

Late strikes from Julian Alvarez and Paulo Dybala sealed the three points for La Albiceleste, who lead the South American qualification section for the 2026 World Cup having won six of their seven fixtures so far.

Next up for Mac Allister and Argentina is Tuesday’s trip to face Luis Diaz’s Colombia in a repeat of this summer’s Copa America final.
