After winning the World Cup in Qatar, this is the first time Argentina has played in a major competition. Lionel Messi’s country started the Copa America with a win. Argentina beat Canada 2-0.
Many woke up early on Friday morning to watch Argentina play. But Copa America was not seen on TV. No channel broadcasts Messi’s game. Frustrated, many looked only at the score. Argentina fans breathed a sigh of relief after the match. Their journey with their favorite team started with a victory in the Copa. Although it was scoreless in the first half, Yulian Alvares scored at the beginning of the second half. At the end of the match, Lautaro Martinez increased the gap by scoring from Messi’s pass.
Argentina got its first goal in 49 minutes. Alvarez gets Alexis McAllister’s pass into the box. His right foot hit the ground, and the ball caught in the net. Messi had the most goals for Argentina in the Qatar World Cup. In second place was young Alvarez. Argentina started the Copa with a goal.
The second goal came in the 88th minute. At that moment, Argentina had the confidence to win against Canada. Arguably, the final nail in Canada’s coffin was Martinez’s goal. Messi’s extended reach from outside the box finds Martinez. He grabbed the ball and took a shot. The ball gets caught in the net. Argentina leads 2-0.
Messi’s next match is against Chile. On June 26, it was the turn of Messi fans in India to wake up early again. Although that match will also be telecast or not, it cannot be said now.
