On June 30, Beijing time, the group stage of the Copa America continued, and Argentina, the defending champion of Group A, became the first team to win all three games to advance to the Copa America, Canada, ranked 48th in the world, advanced as the second in the group, and Chile, ranked 40th in the world, and Peru, ranked 31st in the world, were eliminated from the competition. Let's take a quick rundown of the competition and the latest standings from Group A of the Copa America.
Argentina-Peru
Argentina, which was confirmed to advance in one round in advance, made a large rotation in this game, Garnacho, Palacios, and Pezzella ushered in the Copa America debut, and captain Messi was determined to miss the game due to muscle discomfort. At the beginning of the game, the two sides tested each other. It didn't take long for Argentina to take full control of the situation and attack steadily, with Di Maria and Paredes hitting back-to-back shots that were bravely defused by Galese. Peru, known for its tough defense, disrupted Argentina's offensive rhythm by increasing the intensity of the confrontation, Lautaro and Garnacho fell to the ground in pain when they encountered fierce fouls from their opponents when they broke through with the ball, and the Argentine players stepped forward to protest, but the referee only gave a verbal warning. Near the half, Lo Celso received an inverted triangle return from a teammate near the penalty spot and his shot was blocked by Galese with his foot, and Garnacho won the second penalty and adjusted slightly to shoot wide into the far corner. Argentina and Peru ended the half with a sullen draw.
Argentina, who were better in the half, played with ease, but did not score. Peru's defense did a good job, but the offensive side was too slow with a stop-and-look, three-pass pass, and the opportunity was missed. Entering the second half, Argentina blitzed, the young Di Maria sent a precise pass in the middle, Lautaro stepped into the penalty area and calmly shot into the net in the face of Galese, scoring three goals in a row and winning the top scorer list, Lautaro immediately rushed to the sidelines and hugged and celebrated with his big brother Messi. Tagliafico then headed home and was whistled for a goalkeeper due to Lo Celso's interference. In the 72nd minute, the handball in the Peruvian penalty area was given, and Paredes took the penalty too much to pursue the angle and unfortunately popped off the post. As the game progressed, Argentina deliberately slowed down the pace of attack until the end of the game, Lautaro cleverly escaped the defense in the penalty area with his individual ability, and faced Galese again and calmly picked the ball into the ball to complete the double ring. At the end of the game, Argentina defeated Peru 2-0, and Lautaro's hot state can completely allow Messi to recuperate with peace of mind and wait for the final stage to return as the king.
Chile - Canada
In the face of the battle of life and death, the two teams fought actively as soon as they came up, and the play was very intense, but the quality of the shots was not high. In the 27th minute of the game, Suazo was sent off for a foul, and Chile, which had only 10 players left, suddenly fell from the balance of power to passivity. After that, Canada dominated the offense, but the passing was always not in place, and the forward line had no chance to play. The two sides were at a stalemate in the rematch, and then frequently adjusted the lineup to improve the dull game. In the 74th minute, the veteran Sanchez's powerful volley in the penalty area was safely confiscated by Crépo. In the closing stages, Buchanan's volley from a tight angle was saved by Arias. In stoppage time, Canada launched a quick counter-attack and Oluwasei's winner was whistled for offside. At the end of the game, 10-man Chile drew 0-0 with Canada, and the veteran Sanchez, who played the whole game, did his best to be admired, with 6 dribbles, 5 successes, 8 aerial duels, 2 key passes, and the highest 4 statistics in the game.
