Argentina Dominates Possession Through 28 Minutes Against Algeria

Summary
28 minutes in, Argentina had reduced the match to near-constant possession, repeatedly recycling the ball back to goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez before spreading the field again.
That control came from composure in tight spaces and quick collective passing, with the ball kept in perpetual motion until Argentina reached the final third.
Single-touch combinations there grew more daring without losing effectiveness, leaving Algeria unable to get close enough to disrupt the rhythm.
The pattern pointed to a one-sided World Cup 2026 contest built on Argentina's technical superiority and territorial control.
