How the first round match Argentina vs Colombia:
Argentina national team coach, Lionel Scaloni, still uses his flagship formation, namely 4-3-3.
This time Scaloni relied on the trio of Angel Di Maria, Lautaro Martinez, and Lucas Ocampos, on the front lines.
All three are supported by Sevilla’s attacking midfielder, Alejandro “Papu” Gomez, from the second line.
The Juventus captain, Paulo Dybala, had to start the match from the Argentine national team bench.
On the other hand, Colombia plays with a 4-2-3-1 attacking formation relying on Miguel Borja up front.
The trio of Colombian attacking midfielders this time is Juan Cuadrado, James Rodriguez, and new Liverpool star, Luis Diaz.
At the beginning of the first half, the Argentine national team as the host immediately took the initiative to attack first.
However, until the 15th minute, Argentina, which dominated with a percentage of ball possession reaching 80 percent, had yet to get a shot on target.
Exactly in the 16th minute, Angel Di Maria almost put Argentina ahead if his left foot shot from outside the penalty box did not go wide to the right side of the Colombian goal.
Entering the 20th minute, the tempo of the match loosened up a bit. Argentina, which continues to dominate in terms of ball possession, has not succeeded in creating golden opportunities.
Argentina’s attack has often stalled in the Colombian third of the defense due to poor final passes and too much distance between players.
On the other hand, Colombia has not been able to develop their game because Argentina applies high pressing when they lose the ball.
