The latest Copa America report is coming! Argentina won again, and Messi did not appear this time. The third round of Group A is over, and so far 4 seats have been decided in the top 8! The champions of the Americas were eliminated 0-0, and Argentina locked up the top spot. Here's a quick rundown:
Early in the morning of June 30, in the third round of the group stage of the Copa America, Argentina played Peru. The previous 2 games have been won, and 2 consecutive wins have been qualified! Basically lock the 1st place in the group in advance! Messi takes a break!
Throughout the first half, Lautaro didn't have many chances, and a shot was still in an offside position, but he didn't go in. Peru is not a big threat overall, and the real strength is difficult to compete with Argentina, 0-0 after halftime!
In the 46th minute of the second half, Di Maria received the ball and sent an assist, and Lautaro stepped forward to form a single knife and scored a goal, 1-0! It's still Lautaro, it's still a goal, and it's all scored in 3 games in a row! In the 50th minute, Corso's header was ferried to the middle, and Martinez confiscated the ball! In the 55th minute, Lo Celso profited from an offside position and sent an assist, but Tagliafico's goal was invalid and did not rewrite the score!
Argentina leads Peru 1-0 in the third round of the group stage! Over there, Canada and Chile have yet to score. This situation is conducive to Argentina securing the top spot. Messi also showed a smiling expression despite watching the game as a substitute. In the 86th minute, Lautaro stole the opposing defender and scored a goal, 2-0!
On the other hand, Chile has no room for error, with only one point from the previous two rounds. Canada won 1-1 and picked up three points, losing the opening game to defending champions Argentina 2-0. In the end, Canada drew 0-0 with Chile! Quite unfavorable news is that Suazzo received his second yellow card in a single game in the 27th minute and was sent out with a red card! Chile also had one less player and the pressure was even greater. Alexis Sanchez was unfortunately out of the tournament and failed to qualify.
With the end of the third round of Group A, the teams that have advanced to the top 8 will come to four. Canada finished second in the group, congratulations, while former Copa America champion Chile unfortunately exited. In addition, Venezuela and Colombia have advanced in the second round.
