Enzo Fernández has expressed his disappointment after Argentina suffered a 2-1 defeat to Uruguay in an international friendly at La Bombonera on Friday.

Following the match, the Chelsea midfielder reportedly questioned the result, insisting that Argentina did not deserve to lose after what he considered a better overall performance.

“We did not deserve to lose. Uruguay scored two random goals out of nowhere; we were the better team,” Enzo was quoted as saying.

Argentina started the encounter with attacking intent and created several opportunities, but Uruguay goalkeeper Cristopher Fiermarín made important saves to keep the hosts from scoring in the first half.

The visitors took the lead in the 48th minute when Leonardo Balerdi inadvertently turned the ball into his own net.

Five minutes later, Maximiliano Araújo doubled Uruguay's advantage with another unusual finish from a corner.

Argentina eventually pulled one back through Julián Álvarez in the 73rd minute, but could not find an equaliser.

The defeat marked Argentina's first match since Lionel Messi's retirement from international football.

Despite the result, Enzo and his teammates will have another opportunity to respond when they face Costa Rica in their next friendly on November 17.

Uruguay, meanwhile, will host the Dominican Republic on the same day.
