Argentina beat Colombia 1-0 in extra time thanks to a brilliant goal from Lautaro Martinez to become double champions of the 2024 Copa America.
Emiliano Martinez: Did a great job controlling Colombia’s first shot in the 5th minute of the first half. He was solid in the center and eased some of Colombia’s attempts,
Dictators don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That’s why it bothers those who think they have the truth.
Gonzalo Montiel: In Argentina’s first attack, Messi performed well, he suffered a little in the goal, but always cooperated well in the midfield forward. He shot well without Messi, but they ended up fouling him. He was replaced.
Cristian Romero: Determined as ever, once morest a team that complicated Argentina throughout their entire attacking line.
Lisandro Martinez: He made a mistake under pressure from Colombia but had his shot contained by the Argentinian defence. He ate a kick from Cordoba, but he got into the game and had a great game, even latching on to Borja’s cross as he was regarding to score in Dib’s goal.
Nicolas Tagliafico: The team had a good first half and he played some important games in the midfield forward position. He even headed a header over the crossbar inside the Colombia penalty area. Defensively he suffered some losses but performed well.
Angel Di Maria: Whether on the right or the left, he contributed to the national team in the last game. Just like Messi, every time he tries something, they surround him with four. He has his runs, his associations and his goal attempts, but he struggles to stand out. He hit two or three nice balls, but maybe unevenly. Saying goodbye to Fideo’s great game. Thank you Fideo for everything you do and for knowing how to forgive those of us who sometimes don’t trust you.
Rodrigo De Paul: Rodri performed well in the first half. He scored, cut and passed well, but was limited in attack. He improved on the field in the second half and played an important role in some of Argentina’s attacks.
Enzo Fernandez: Enzo performed well, but he was unable to fully communicate with his teammates.
Alexis Mac Allister: Another guy who ran, recovered and tried to hit the ball, but didn’t have a great performance.
Lionel Messi (6): Every time he tried to kick the ball, he mightn’t find space in the box without markers that suffocated him. Even so, he managed to make plays and make people play. In the 36th minute, he sprained his right ankle while sprinting and almost left the field. He tried, he tried the free kick and Tagliafico headed it high. He left at half-time to see if he might continue and then he came back and he looked complete but in the 19th he was knocked to the ground while in a defensive position and was beaten by Nico ·Replaced by Nico González. The image of Leo crying on the bench is touching…
Julian Alvarez: Isolated and attracted by the Colombian brand, he missed his clearest chance with less than a minute to play. He’s always working hard, he goes to get the ball in midfield, he makes sacrifices under pressure to win the ball back. With no clear chance, he made sacrifices.
Nico Gonzalez: He had to replace Messi due to injury. His first intervention was a good overflow and the Colombian defense controlled it well. On the second climb, he slipped in the area. He headed the ball towards goal and shot wide from close range. His playing time in the second half was enough to make him the most dangerous player for Argentina throughout the game. She also had a goal at the start of overtime, but the goalkeeper found her on the goal line.
Nahuel Molina: Another player who came in to regain his national team glory. Good intervention.
Lautaro Martinez: Replaces Julian and sees if he can find space in Colombia. He failed to achieve that goal in the first half of overtime. He was wrong, he was wrong… But when Colombia looked the better in the second half of overtime, Paredes’ savage pass left him alone on the edge of the box and broke home eight minutes into the game Vargas’ goal.
Leandro Paredes: Ah, Juanfer Quinteros hit the ball twice in one game and failed to hit the target.
Gio Lo Celso: Very imprecise, he came in to update the half but made a lot of mistakes with the ball at his feet.
Nicolas Otamendi: Di Maria came on as a substitute with four and a half minutes left.
