Ángel Di María great goal, Lautaro Martínez the second as Argentina win 2-1 vs. Chile

12

Ángel Di María and Lautaro Martínez each scored in the first half for Argentina. Di María, the hero of the Copa America has scored another great goal. After his hip goal against Brazil, he would curl one against Uruguay in the November World Cup qualifiers.

The Argentine would score a similar goal as he had three Chilean players in front of him and curled one into the corner of the goal which gave Argentina the 1-0 lead. It was a first half which saw Lisandro Martínez playing lots of passes from deep and Nicolas Tagliafico playing well both defensively and offensively as the two Ajax players were on point.

However, with the score at 1-0, a cross was sent into the penalty area and Molina was beaten for height as Brereton scored a header to draw Chile level. But that score did not last long.

Alejandro Papu Gomez had a great dribble as he passed the ball to Rodrigo De Paul who drove forward and took a shot from outside of the penalty area. The shot was stopped by Claudio Bravo but Lautaro Martinez got the rebound and scored to give Argentina the 2-1 lead.

It was 2-1 Argentina going into the second half. Argentina had three players who received yellow cards and all will miss the next match against Colombia next week. The first to get yellow carded was Rodrigo De Paul, followed by LEandro Paredes and Nicolas Tagliafico.

Argentina national team coach for the match Walter Samuel made several substitutions. Gio Lo Celso of Tottenham was brought in for Rodrigo De Paul of Atletico Madrid. The second substitution saw Marcos Acuna of Sevilla for Nicolas Gonzalez of FIorentina. And a third change was Julian Alvarez of River Plate for Lautaro Martinez.

Emiliano Martinez made a great save to keep Argentina’s advantage as he made a save from close range. Angel Correa of Atletico Madrid, who wore the number 10 shirt, replaced Angel Di Maria. Argentina did not have many chances in the second half but the two goals in the first got them the win and three points.

Already qualified for the World Cup, Argentina are undefeated in their last 28 matches.

  1. An impeccable-strike-followed-by-a-vanishing-act from Di Maria, some shabby defending in first half, a vulnerable Molina, a couple of wrong judgements from Dibu Martinez, good game management after the break even in absence of Scaloni, a horrible strike by a fading Celso, that brilliant 3-men dive to prevent the Chilean shot to the goal and that wonderful sporting moment when Dibu shook hand with the Chilean forward — summary of a game without Messi and Scaloni.

  2. D MARIA on right.it is the right place for him to show his real talent. Previous coaches wasted a terrific talent so many years and games.When he was in Right wing arg have 2 Messi infront.

  4. Yes! we are all happy and satisfied with the win although there is still a space to evaluate and need to be improved; one good point is the shot from outside the box has been improved a lot. GK Emi is surely our ‘China Wall’ , totally played and all out at every game.

    Hopefully all the players are free from injury until the end of year 2022

  5. There is no Argentina player except Messi can match Di Maria’s Quality. If someone has audacity to say He isnt consistent and Only should be used as Sub then he/she is blinded by hate obviously.

    Nico Gonzalez is Terrible and His Passing, Ball control is irritating to watch. Aside from pressing and helping in defence, He Adds nothing in attacking build up and hold the team down.

    Paredes and Le celso arent good enough to hold the tempo of the game and Can’t give us a enough control of the game. Their defensive input is solid but Attacking isnt.

  6. Shout out to Enganche.
    I have tried futbolibre.net before but always had hard time finding the game. Your link was so easy it took me straight to the game. Really appreciated brother. 👏👏👏😀
