Argentina is on the verge of winning the Copa América for the second time in a row. The team secured their spot in the final after defeating Canada 2-0 with goals from Julián Álvarez and Lionel Messi. The victory puts them in a strong position to potentially win the championship once again.
Following their World Cup win in Qatar in 2022, Lionel Scaloni’s team will face the winner of the semifinal match between Uruguay and Colombia. The Argentine team, with a golden generation of players, is now considered the favorite to lift the trophy in Miami on Sunday.
After the match, Messi expressed his happiness at reaching another final and emphasized the difficulty of achieving such a feat. The captain’s words reflected the team’s journey through various competitions, including the Copa América 2021, Copa de Campeones Conmebol-UEFA 2022, and the World Cup 2022.
The first goal came early in the game when Julián Álvarez capitalized on a well-placed pass from Rodrigo de Paul to beat the Canadian goalkeeper. Despite some attempts from Canada to equalize, they were unable to break through the Argentine defense. Messi missed a clear opportunity in the first half but redeemed himself by scoring the second goal early in the second half.
As the match progressed, Argentina’s intensity waned as they looked ahead to the final. Canada, facing a tough challenge, continued to push forward but failed to convert their chances. The majority of the fans at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey were Argentine supporters, celebrating the victory and looking forward to the upcoming final.
With 15 Copa América titles, Argentina is tied with Uruguay as the most successful team in the tournament’s history. Their potential victory on July 14th would solidify their dominance in South American football.
