The Argentine futsal team began its journey at the Copa América with a 4-1 victory over Peru in Group A, held at the Paraguayan Olympic Committee Stadium (COP Arena). Argentina took the lead in the first half, which was marked by the early expulsion of Alex Juárez in the Peruvian team, who had to play for two minutes with a numerical disadvantage. In the second half, Argentina continued to apply pressure. Juan Pablo Cuello capitalized on a rebound on the edge of the area and doubled the lead. Argentina remained calm and thwarted Peru's attempts to close the gap. Although Peru managed to score a goal with a long-range strike from Ulloa, Argentina quickly restored their two-goal advantage. Finally, Agustín Plazas sealed the 4-1 result by scoring from his own half into an empty net.
