Short but clear message from Lionel Messi after Argentina's victory over Canada

IIt is always important to start winning in a tournament and that is exactly what Argentina did it because they showed why they are the current world champions and against a rival who sometimes complicated the game but who knew how to resolve it at the right time during the beginning of the Copa America.

In the first half, Argentina dominated the game but lacked efficiency with the four clear chances they generated. In the second half, Argentina opened the scoring quickly thanks to a play of pure talent from Lionel Messi with a masterful pass to Alexis Mac Allister who was knocked down in the area, but before that he had already touched it to Julian Alvarez to score the first.

Of the, Argentina generated scoring opportunities, but did not score. Canada generated some scary opportunities. Towards the end Lautaro Martinez had a one-on-one that was blocked by the goalkeeper, but he got his revenge at the end when Messi served him and he appeared diagonally to shoot the ball and put the 2-0 final.
