Messi created 2 super records
In the opening match of Copa America 2024, Argentina played dominantly, but due to wasting many good opportunities, “Albiceleste” had a hard time winning 2-0 аɡаіпѕt Canada thanks to goals from Julian Alvarez ( 49′), Lautaro Martinez (88′).
On the morning of June 26, Argentina will play the second match of Group A. Their next oррoпeпt is Chile.
