At that time, these 4 names and U20 Argentina came to Vietnam to play a friendly match, and were also in the planning series to prepare for the 2017 U20 World Cup taking place in Korea. U20 Argentina is led by coach Claudio Ubeda, they have had 2 friendly matches with U20 Vietnam (led by coach Hoang Anh Tuan) and U22 Vietnam (led by coach Nguyen Huu Thang).

Meanwhile, in the friendly match at My Dinh Stadium with U22 Vietnam, the team from South America defeated coach Huu Thang's team with a score of 5-0.
Notably, in the friendly match with U22 Vietnam, striker Lautaro Javier Martinez suffered a rather serious injury after a collision with defender Tran Dinh Khuong. The U22 Argentina striker was then diagnosed with a cracked tracheal cavity and had to miss a fairly good break. Therefore, this injury also prevented Martinez from joining U22 Argentina in the U20 World Cup finals afterwards, however, he still went to Korea with his teammates.
In the 2021 Copa America final, Lautaro Javier Martinez was considered to have had a good match, he and his " team" Dimaria were withdrawn by coach Scaloni in the 80th minute when they had the advantage of 1 goal and Argentina wanted to increase their defensive strength.
