Messi Scores To Lead Argentina Into 2024 Copa America Final

Argentina defeated Canada 2-0, with Lionel Messi scoring both goals to lead his team to the 2024 Copa America final.

The reigning champions advanced to the final for the second time in a row with perhaps their best performance of the tournament.

After some excellent work by Rodrigo Paul, Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez gave Argentina the lead in the 22nd minute with a low-key finish.

The combination of Lionel Messi, Rodrigo Paul, and Angel Di Maria tore Canada apart at every chance, but they were unable to extend their lead before halftime.
