The scores of the Argentine National Team players after the match against Canada for the first date of Group A of the Copa America 2024.
Argentina vs. Canada: the scores
Emiliano Martínez (8): They demanded it only once and he responded perfectly to cover a headbutt from Cornelius.
Nahuel Molina (4): He suffered a lot behind his back and did not provide solutions on offense.
Cristian Romero (9): a recital of advances to cut off Canada’s advances in the center. Handsomeness and firmness during the 90 minutes, another day at the office.
Lisandro Martínez (7): He supported the team alongside Cuti in each rival attack and covered the potholes left by the midfield as best he could. Precise with the ball out, both long and short, although a little scatterbrained in the ST.
Marcos Acuña (5): When Canada raised the bar, it suffered every Buchanan climb. She didn’t have a good time.
Leandro Paredes (5.5): He could not give intensity to the middle of the field and at times he was overwhelmed by the speed of the Canadians.
Rodrigo DePaul (7): It was the team’s spare wheel. Relays, forward passes and transfers seeking to progress. He was left somewhat unguarded during Canada’s best moment in the second half.
Alexis Mac Allister (6.5): Canada’s intensity made it intermittent, but when it was activated, Argentina arrived with danger. Some unforced errors in the second 45′.
Lionel Messi (8): It was difficult for him to gravitate in the first half. In the second he stood as a pitcher, without having to run as much, and hurt as he knows how. Passes to space that were daggers. He only failed in the definition: he missed two hands at the hands of those that he does not usually miss.
Julian Alvarez (8): Diagonals and simple touches to give circulation to the game, but they gave it very little in the first half. In the second he captured a rebound and made it 1-0. He is always there.
Ángel Di María (7): He played low in the faces of the Canadian defenders and had a lot of space to move, although he was sometimes anxious.
