The day has come. The peruvian team will have a difficult challenge today, Saturday June 29, when against Argentinain the closing of Group A for the Copa America 2024. Jorge Fossati’s team is obliged to win in Miami to dream of making it to the quarter-finals of the continental competition, where Lionel Scaloni’s team is already (he will not be there due to suspension). And as has been happening, the match will be broadcast by America Television for the entire national territory.
Everyone’s team started the tournament with great enthusiasm. He was not the favorite against Chile Ricardo Garecabut he surprised on the field. Carlos Zambrano and Alexander Callens They showed themselves at a high level and did not allow the ‘mapochos’ convert. They were very solid in defense. However, we cannot say the same about their forward line, the Achilles heel of the team that has been dragging itself along since the South American Qualifiers.
With the point secured and confidence at its peak, Peru faced Canada with the aim of taking the three points to get closer to qualification. And everything looked set to happen. But one play changed the course of the game. When the match was 0-0, Miguel Araujo made a hard tackle on his opponent and was shown a red card after a VAR review. With 10 men, everything was uphill.
In a lethal counterattack, the Canadians beat Pedro Gallese’s goal and the scoreboard did not change again. Not even the entry of important players like Christian Cueva, Paolo Guerrero and André Carrillo; They allowed at least a draw. It was a regrettable fall for the Peruvian team, as it saw its continuity in the Copa América 2024. I was attentive to what happens between Argentina and Chile.
This match could have ended goalless, but one last action in favor of the Argentines gave them the victory over the southerners. The author of the goal was Lautaro Martínezwho adds two coming off the bench, and will start against the ‘red and white’The result gave the nationals a little life.

Likewise, the online broadcast can be enjoyed through the streaming platform America TV GOavailable on tablet, laptop or cell phone for any user who has subscribed to the service.
It is worth mentioning that the broadcast will start one hour before the match; that is, from 6:00 p.m. with the preview by journalists. Erick Osores, Óscar Del Portal and Richard de La Piedra. Toño Vargas It will be the voice that tells the events of the important international clash.
Peru can still continue in the race in the continental competition. To do this, it must be imposed before the ‘white and blue’ and hope Canada doesn’t beat Chile (they will play simultaneously). A draw would lead to a review of the standings, where all three would have 4 points and everything would be decided by goal difference. Without a doubt, there will be a lot of expectation about how everything moves in both matches.
The Argentine national team confirmed that it will play with an alternate team against the ‘inca’, since they have already secured their tickets to the quarterfinals. And although they have a great squad, there are several players who will only add minutes in the competition. Furthermore, it was known that Lionel Messi He will not be part of the squad due to a minor muscle injury: they will save him for the next stage, as they do not plan to risk him.
Peru, for its part, will also make urgent changes. The first will be the income of Aldo Corzo replacing the expelled Miguel Araujo. The ‘Molar’ He is one of the experienced players that the Peruvian team has and Jorge Fossati knows him very well from his time at Universitario de Deportes. The other one who would join the eleven is Bryan Reyna, to take Piero Quispe’s place, but more advanced. It will be all or nothing.
