Argentina played again for the points at the beginning of the road to the Qatar World Cup 2020. The setting is the Bombonera, which became the new home of the National Team.
The heat of the Boca court was expected to accompany Lionel Scaloni's team, but the coronavirus forced them to play behind closed doors with the indispensable number of people inside the stadium.
This is how the Bombonera looked totally empty with a zealous operation that began at 4:00 p.m., ordered by the Football Safety Committee of the City Government, involving personnel from the City Police, City Firefighters, Government Control Agency (AGC) and Traffic Agents.
La Bombonera was the home of the National Team after a long time.
A ring was established 100 meters around the stadium to prevent the public from approaching and so that the official transmission trucks can be located.
There were also two capsules for the transfer of the delegations' buses.
Also, despite the fact that people could not enter the field and see Lionel Messi and company closely, the National Team had a special encouragement.
Is that the usual repertoire of songs that usually come down from the stands every time the national team plays a sound system with 30 speakers distributed in strategic places in the Bombonera was played.

It is a model similar to that used in some matches in Europe and different from what happens in the Copa Libertadores matches, in which the ambient sound is only perceived through television.
There was also room for rags in the stands.
In the boxes, in the area above the substitute benches, a light blue and white flag reads: "The temple of world football encourages you."

And in the second tray of the south stand, a characteristic flag of the Boca fans can be seen, but which was redesigned for the National Team.
"I will always be by your side, dear Argentina."
