Chile did not test him until the 72nd minute. But when he did, he responded in spades, doubly frustrating Echeverría.
Always inconsistent, today he showed his best form. Two good chances for Argentina came from his boots.
A penalty was played just to start the game. For the rest, tremendously sober, as usual.
- Lisandro Martínez Relaxed
It was a rather placid night, both for Cuti and for the ‘Red Devil’ centre-back, who was successful with long balls.
He was less lavish in attack than Nahuel Molina.
Play and make people play. He was able to score in the 57th minute after a pass from Messi, but was unable to connect with the ball in a very favorable position.
He combined well with the also athletic Nahuel Molina on the right.
He was the least protagonist of the three in the center of the field.
At 37 years old, he continues to cause fear in rival defenses. He touched the goal with a distant shot that touched the post on the outside.
- Nicolas Gonzalez Nuisance
A constant danger from the left. He had it in the first half, with a header, and in the second, with a left foot shot that bounced off the crossbar.
He won the game again against Lautaro, although this time he was left without seeing the door. He didn’t participate too much either.
THE CHANGES:
It greatly improved Enzo’s performance.
He gave Lautaro the 0-2 in the 95th minute, but the ‘Toro’ ran into Bravo, by far the best Chilean of the night.
He caught a loose ball in the 88th minute and gave Argentina the pass, scoring his second goal in two games… coming off the bench.
He came in to provide freshness to the right wing.
He lost his place in the eleven in favor of Tagliafico.
