The party that Argentina team beat Canada 2-0 for the Copa América had a play of strange development and emotional resolution, about 19 minutes into the second half, when Lionel Scaloni’s team was winning 1-0.
A dangerous attack by the Candienses was resolved by Emiliano Martínez by containing an aerial ball. The goalkeeper ran and quickly came out with a long throw-in for Lionel Messi. La Pulga, in speed, gained the position and was hand in hand with the archer Crepeau. Leo’s left footed shot was rejected by the one, but there was a rebound, and there the Rosario went for the ball and made another feint. He hit the ball and it just hit Cornelius’ body…
The goal cry was choked twice by the Argentine fans.

Later, at 34 minutes, Leo once again had a one-on-one with Crepeau. He benched the position and when defining, due to closeness, he tried again to chip the ball instead of a short dribble: the goalkeeper’s short rejection took away, once again, the cry for a goal…
