Argentina’s rugby team made history in Buenos Aires by defeating the All Blacks 29–23.
This was the first time Argentina has ever beaten the All Blacks on home soil. The match took place during the Rugby Championship on Saturday and thrilled the cheering Argentine crowd.
The game began with New Zealand looking strong, scoring two tries in the first half through Billy Proctor and Fletcher Newell. However, momentum shifted when the All Blacks were given several yellow cards, meaning they had to play with fewer players at key moments.
Argentina quickly took advantage of the situation. Juan Martín González scored a try, and later Gonzalo García added another. Accurate penalty kicks helped stretch Argentina’s lead to 26–13 with only 20 minutes left.
The All Blacks tried to fight back with a late try from Samisoni Taukei’aho, bringing them close again. But another yellow card weakened their chances, and Los Pumas pulled further ahead with one last penalty.
With the score at 29–23, the final whistle signalled a famous victory. Argentine fans erupted with joy, waving flags and chanting as their team celebrated on the field.
