Argentina beat Peru 1-0 in South American World Cup qualifying.
Despite the unimpressive performance Lionel Messi’s team is now closer a direct spot at Qatar next year.
Lautaro Martinez scored the only goal of the match with a header in the 43rd minute.
Peru had the golden chance to equalize from the spot in the 65th minute but veteran Yoshimar Yotun hit the bar.
Second-place Argentina has 25 points after 11 matches — its encounter against leader Brazil was suspended after seven minutes of play due to COVID-19 protocols.
FIFA will decide whether the match will be played or not.
