Argentina are perhaps the most inexperienced side out of the six competing at the 2018 Dubai Kabaddi Masters.
So far in the competition, the South American side has received a thrashing from both Iran and South Korea. Their luck didn't improve on Day five as they were on the wrong side of the scoreline yet again.
Argentina showed impatience in attack and complacency in defense during the first half. They trailed Iran by twenty-one points at half-time.
Although Argentina improved by a lot in the second half, their first-half no-show assured that they had lost the match long before the final whistle was sounded.
