Alexis Mac Allister played the full 90 minutes for Argentina against Ecuador even though his manager, Lionel Scaloni, said that the Liverpool ace was not yet 100 per cent fit.

Towards the end of the match, he had a tense exchange with Piero Hincapie."

Like Clarin, La Nacion also handed Mac Allister a score of 4/10 and reported: "In a system with Lautaro as the sole striker, Alexis started as an enganche (playmaker), a position he's familiar with but doesn't frequently occupy for the national team.

Ole was a tad more generous but only gave Mac Allister a 4.5 rating
