Overview
- Argentina drew 1-1 with the United States on Saturday, August 15, 2026, with Brisa Bruggesser scoring on her World Cup debut and Emma Deberdine equalizing for the U.S.
- Argentina created multiple chances from penalty corners but failed to convert those opportunities and other clear chances that could have won the match.
- Goalkeeper Cristina Cosentino produced several key saves that kept Argentina level late in the game.
- Argentina played temporarily a player down after Victoria Granatto received a green card which left the team with one fewer player for two of the last eight minutes.
- Germany beat Scotland 3-0 in the other Group B opener and leads the table, so Argentina must beat Germany on Monday at 12:00 ART to avoid a group-stage deficit and improve its path in the tournament.
