The national team won 1-0 with both Guido Rodríguez, for the second date of Group A, in Brasilia. Messi, one of the figures of the meeting.
The Argentina National Team got his first triumph in the Copa América. The national team (with four changes compared to the last game) beat Uruguay 1-0, for the second date of Group A, at Mané Garrincha in Brasilia. Lionel Messi was one of the figures of the meeting.
Lionel Scaloni’s team warned with two approaches at the start and opened the scoring at 12 minutes. In a great individual play, Lionel Messi sent a cross from the left wing that Guido Rodríguez -who replaced Leandro Paredes- connected at the far post: he headed 1-0.
After the goal, Argentina gave the ball to the Uruguayan team and stopped in their own field, hoping to strike back (always commanded by the Flea, great presentation).
For their part, those led by Maestro Tabárez did not have many opportunities. Edinson Cavani claimed a penalty from Guido Rodríguez (he did not touch it). In addition, at the end of the first 45 minutes, they had a shot from mid-range by Rodrigo Bentancur, which passed close to the post.
In the second half, Argentina decreased in intensity (something that also happened in their last presentations) and had few arrivals. In any case, he suffered little. Uruguay did not finish off the goal either (Just a dangerous center from Matías Viñas, who almost did not connect Cavani).
Finally, Lionel Scaloni’s team beat Uruguay by the minimum and achieved its first triumph in the Copa América. With this result, the national team reaches 4 points and is the leader of Group A, together with Chile. Now, they will face Paraguay, on Monday, from 9:00 p.m., again at the Mané Garrincha in Brasilia.
