Messi’s Performance and Canada’s Defenses Mark the Match, but Canada Struggles to Find the Net

Argentina kicked off their Copa América defense with a solid 2-0 victory over Canada, a result that showcased their dominance. While Messi had a couple of missed breakaway opportunities, his free kick was crucial, forcing the Canadian goalkeeper to make a save and securing the win.

Canada, making their debut in the Copa América, showed promise, especially in the first half, but ultimately couldn’t break through Argentina’s defense. With 270 minutes now gone without scoring under head coach Jesse Marsch, Canada’s attacking struggles persist. Despite their valiant effort, Argentina’s experience proved too much on the night.
