Chelsea's Enzo, Di Maria, inspire Argentina to victory against Bolivia in Messi's absence

Even without Messi, Argentina easily defeats Bolivia in the challenging La Paz Stadium. Despite being without their captain and icon Lionel Messi, Argentina maintained their winning streak with a 3-0 victory over Bolivia. The Albiceleste traveled to La Paz Stadium, known for giving players a difficult time because of the pitch's high altitude location. Despite the MLS forward traveling with the club, the 36-year-old Messi's exclusion is likely due to this. However, the Albiceleste found motivation elsewhere and cruised through their opponents to keep their spotless record in the COMMEBOL World Cup qualifying matches.
