The victory nearly secures Lionel Messi’s team a spot in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Messi crossed the ball in the penalty area in the 55th minute to give Martínez one of the few clear opportunities of the match.
Argentina leads South American qualifying with 25 points from 12 matches. The loss left Peru in the 10th and last position in the round-robin competition with seven points.
Until Martínez scored, Argentina’s best chance was in the 21st minute, when striker Julián Alvarez hit the Peruvian goalkeeper’s right post. Messi once again had a modest performance, as he did in his team’s 2-1 defeat at Paraguay on Thursday.
Also on Tuesday, Ecuador won 1-0 at Colombia with a goal by Enner Valencia in the seventh minute, in which he dribbled through three players before scoring. Ecuador lost defender Piero Hincapié to a red card in the 34th minute but held on for the win.
