Two games, two wins. From an accounting perspective, Argentina’s start to the 2022 World Cup qualifiers is perfect. In terms of play, it’s more complicated. After dominating Ecuador at home (1-0), the formation of Lionel Messi won in Bolivia (2-1) on Tuesday. Still without convincing. The premises opened the scoring by Marcelo Moreno (24th) with a well-placed header in the goals of Franco Armani, while the Cruzeiro striker found himself alone between Lucas Martinez and Nicolas Otamendi.
Lautaro Martinez involved on both goals
It took a very lucky goal for the Albiceleste not to doubt. A bit panicked in his six meters, Jose Carrasco sent his clearance on the leg of Lautaro Martinez came to the pressing (45th). The second half was more controlled by the Argentines, but Leo Messi was alone in the animation of a collective too often boring. After spoiling an offering of the quadruple Ballon d’Or, Lautaro Martinez was going to unlock the meeting by shifting Joaquin Correa who deceived Carlos Lampe with a strike from the left (79th). Following this Tuesday of this second day of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in the South American zone, Ecuador welcomes Uruguay, Venezuela receives Paraguay, Brazil travels to Peru while Chile faces the Colombia.
