America's Cup/ Argentina starts with a win, Messi disappoints

Argentina started its journey in the America's Cup with victory. The defending champions of this competition defeated Canada 2-0 in the opening match of the tournament.

The first half ended with untouched nets, while both goals were scored in the second half of the game.

Di Maria had the first dangerous chance, in the 9th minute, but the attacker made a mistake alone with the goalkeeper.

Canada was also close to the goal in the 43rd minute, but Martinez became the hero with a spectacular save, while Davies could not score from the returned ball.

The second half of the game started with Argentina more demanding and persistence was rewarded in the 49th minute.

McAllister, with a great assist to Alvarez, got the striker one-on-one with the keeper and managed to score the first goal.

Congratulations to the Argentines, who did not stop the attacks. Messi had the golden opportunity to score the second goal in the 66th minute, but he couldn't beat the goalkeeper. The easy shot of the "fleet" went over the fatal line.

Messi was not at his best day and this was seen in the 79th minute, when he squandered another glaring opportunity, alone with the goalkeeper.

The challenge was sealed by Lautaro Martinez, two minutes before the end of regular time. The Inter striker took advantage of a pass received in the area and stopped the ball at the end of the net.

Argentina starts with a win and takes the first three points in Group A, where Peru and Chile also belong.
