0

Today was the very important game of Group A of the Copa America group stage Argentina vs Peru. Whichever team won today would have qualified for the quarter finals but Argentina did not have their all-time favorite player Lionel Messi and their favorite coach Lionel Scaloni in their team. Messi was ruled out of today’s match with a hamstring injury and Scaloni was absent due to suspension. In addition, Peruvian defender Miguel Araujo was banned for the match after receiving a red card. More or less, many important players of both the teams were barred from this match. But despite all this, no team was going to leave anyone on the field. At the 47th minute of the match, Lautaro Martinez put the ball in the net of each side as a result of an excellent pass by Di Maria. After that, Peru continued to attack again and again, but nothing worked, just after 85 minutes, Argentina got a corner. Lautaro Martinez once again put the ball in the opponent’s net in the corner kick made by Di Maria. In this way, Messi’s team Argentina won the Copa America quarter-finals with the difference of two goals scored by Martinez.
