    World Cup:  Nicolas Otamendi struck a superb first-half goal as Argentina continued their perfect start to the South American zone 2026 World Cup qualifiers with a 1-0 home win over Paraguay.

    The 35-year-old Benfica defender put the hosts ahead in the third minute when he latched onto Rodrigo de Paul's corner with a spectacular volley that left goalkeeper Carlos Coronel with no chance.

    Albiceleste captain Lionel Messi, who is recovering from an unspecified muscle injury, was introduced as a 53rd-minute substitute for Julian Alvarez. The 36-year-old Inter Miami forward made an immediate impact, twice hitting the woodwork in the final 20 minutes, Xinhua reports.
