Argentina, the reigning Copa América champions, have secured their place in the 2024 quarter-finals with a 1-0 victory over Chile, courtesy of Lautaro Martínez's late goal. Having won their first two tournament games without conceding, Lionel Scaloni's team now has the luxury of potentially resting players before facing the Group B runners-up in the knockout stage.

The 2024 Copa América's marquee group stage fixture sees Chile and Argentina clash at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. This match, a repeat of the 2015 and 2016 finals (both won by Chile on penalties), holds extra importance for La Roja after their goalless draw against Peru in their opening game.

Argentina (FIFA Rank: #1) enter the 2024 Copa América as reigning champions and World Cup holders, looking to extend their dominance on the international stage. Under Lionel Scaloni's leadership, the Albiceleste have been nearly unstoppable, losing just once in their last 45 matches (W33, D11) since July 2019. They come into this tournament opener on the back of seven straight unbeaten games in Copa América (W6, D1), showcasing their formidable form in continental competitions.
