The Argentine men's futsal team, current champion,

beat the United States 11-0

in the

2021 Lithuania World Cup

, in the debut for the first date of Group F that also make up Serbia and Iran.

It was Argentina's biggest historic win in a World Cup.

The goals were made by Alan Brandi (4), Maxi Rescia (2), Ángel Claudino (2) Leandro Cuzzolino, Santiago Basile and Cristian Borruto.

The offensive power of the national team proved too much for the Americans, who soon found themselves at a disadvantage and never set foot on the court.

Brandi's goal that opened the scoring after a rebound from the rival goalkeeper was key to providing peace of mind.
