Both teams enter this game with an interim managers, but that may be the real motivation behind each player when this match kicks off.

Argentina and Colombia end their International Break with an interesting friendly match set to be held at MetLife Stadium in New York.

Both South American sides won their previous games in this break. Argentina defeated Guatemala with a 3-0 score, and Colombia claimed a 2-1 win against a tough Venezuelan side.

The team being currently coached by Lionel Scaloni showed poise during their match against Guatemala, even if there wasn't too much resistance from the Central American team. After their 2018 World Cup disaster, these games are being seen by Argentina fans as a chance to recover their pride, mainly because these young Argentinean cast will try to work as a team due to Lionel Messi's absence.

On the other side of the pitch, Colombia will start a new era after Jose Pekerman refused to extend his contract with Los Cafeteros. The Colombian Federation seems to be toying with the notion of keeping interim boss Arturo Reyes in charge of the team until the end of the year, which will give younger players a chance to fight for a regular spot in the squad alongside Radamel Falcao, Juan Cuadrado and James Rodríguez (currently out due to an injury).
