Argentina's quest to win the Copa America for a consecutive time took a giant step following their 2-0 victory vs Canada in the first semi-final clash of the competition.
Goals from Julian Alvarez and Lionel Messi ensured that Argentina qualified for the final where they will face either Colombia or Uruguay in the final of this year's Copa America. The second semi-final game will be played on Wednesday, July 10, 2024.
This was also Messi's first goal of the tournament, and it came through a stroke of luck. Canada had a couple of chances to score but Emiliano Martinez rose to the occasion to deny the Canadians a chance in the game.
This was the second time that football fans will be watching Argentina vs Canada at the 2024 Copa America, they met each other in the group stage where Argentina almost came out tops in both situations.
Messi hopes he will lead Argentina to another Copa America glory in what seems to be his last competitive competition for his national team.
