Main scorer

This match showed Argentina’s superiority from the outset. Julian Alvarez opened the scoring by scoring the first goal in the 22nd minute. The goal was created after receiving an assist from Rodrigo De Paul and getting past Canadian goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau.

Lionel Messi then doubled Argentina’s lead with a goal in the 50th minute. This goal was an important moment in the match as it extended Argentina’s lead to 2-0.

Game Controls

After taking the lead, Argentina increasingly controlled the game. They not only dominated possession, but also created a number of dangerous chances. Although not all of their attempts resulted in goals, Argentina managed to keep the pressure on the Canadian defense throughout the game.

Canadian Resistance

Canada, despite their loss, did not simply give up. They tried hard to get back into the game, especially towards the end of the second half. However, their efforts to catch up did not yield satisfactory results.

Jonathan David and Liam Millar were among the Canadian players who tried to create opportunities in the Argentinian defensive zone. However, they failed to capitalize on the opportunities that existed, mainly due to Emiliano Martinez’s solid defense and finishing errors.

Video Assistant Referee (VAR) ControversyI

In the second half, Messi’s second goal was checked by the video assistant referee (VAR) for suspected offside. However, upon review, the goal was declared valid, showing Messi’s correct position when receiving a pass from Enzo Fernández.

The Argentine team led by Lionel Scaloni shows the strength of the team with the strategic positioning and key role of players such as Messi, Alvarez and De Paul. On the other hand, Canada also put in a persistent performance, although they eventually had to admit Argentina’s superiority.
