Argentina Defeat Surprising Canadian Team
Argentina defeated Canada 2-0 in the 2024 Copa América Semifinals on Thursday, thanks to goals from forward Lionel Messi and winger Julián Álvarez.
Messi gave Argentina the lead in the 25th minute, with a low drive into the bottom corner from outside the area. Álvarez doubled Argentina's advantage in the 50th minute, converting Lionel Messi's rebound from close range.
Canada competed well throughout the match, but were unable to find a way past Argentina's goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez. Jonathan David hit the post in the second half for Canada, but it was one of the few clear-cut chances that the Canadian team created.
Argentina will now face the winner of the other semifinal between Brazil and Uruguay in the Copa América final on Sunday.
Conclusion
Argentina's victory is a testament to their quality and experience. They are now one game away from winning their first major trophy since 2021. Canada, meanwhile, can be proud of their performance in the Copa América. They showed that they are a team on the rise and will be one to watch in future tournaments.
