The friendly between Argentina and Honduras on Saturday (6) had a BIZARRE moment before the ball had even started rolling.

>The organizers made a blunder and played, instead of the anthem of the hermanos... a CUMBIA. Watch the video:

>The song played was Bombón Asesino, performed by the band Los Palmeras at the opening of the 2019 Copa Sudamericana final.

>Argentina vs. Honduras had another curious moment, with goalkeeper Dibu Martínez (ruled out of the match) becoming a photographer for a day:

>Argentina beat Honduras 2-0. Lionel Scaloni’s team will play one more friendly before their Copa debut — against Iceland, at 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday (9).

>Argentina’s debut will be against Algeria, next Tuesday the 16th, at 10 p.m. Besides Algeria, the defending champion will also face Austria and Jordan.
