SANTIAGO, Chile - Argentina, which had scored only two goals in its first four South American World Cup qualifiers, scored that many in the first 24 minutes Thursday in a 2-1 victory over Chile.

Argentina was the runner-up in the 2014 World Cup, but has been below par qualifying for Russia in 2018.
