What the match is about
Argentina face Uruguay in an international friendly on Friday, 13 November, according to TechRadar. The game marks the start of the post-Messi era, after Lionel Messi ended his international career with 208 appearances and 126 goals for his country.
Coach Lionel Scaloni is expected to build his side around players such as Enzo Fernandez, Julian Alvarez and Nico Paz. The match takes place at La Bombonera, Argentina's famous stadium in Buenos Aires.
Kick-off time
The match kicks off at 6pm ET / 3pm PT / 11pm GMT on Friday, 13 November. For viewers in Australia, that is 10am AEDT on Saturday, 14 November.
Where to watch
TechRadar reports that the game is available free in Argentina through the broadcaster Telefe. In the United States, ViX Premium carries live coverage for $6.99 per month, with Spanish-language commentary.
The match is not confirmed for broadcast in the UK, Canada or Australia. TechRadar suggests a VPN, software that makes a device appear to be in another country, as a way for travellers to reach their usual services.
Uruguay's recent form
Uruguay arrive after a difficult year. TechRadar notes the team has recorded only two victories across its last 10 matches and went out of the World Cup in the group stage.
There have been signs of recovery, however. In the previous international window Uruguay beat South Korea and India heavily, either side of a loss to Japan. With Messi no longer leading Argentina, Uruguay may see this friendly as a real chance for a positive result.
