Argentina's matchup against Canada, despite the seemingly normal final score of 2-0, the reality on the field was much more complicated than the scoreline suggests.
Looking back at the entire match, Argentina was tied 0-0 with Canada at the end of the half, and even came close to falling behind at one point. However, Argentina turned the game around with its superior offensive talent and a deep lineup that featured goals from Zulian Ivaris and Nadalu Martinez.
Mez contributed an assist in the match and was, as always, the most threatening player on the field. Argentina clearly wanted to win the match in order to lock up the qualification spot early and rest their core players for the final round of the group stage.
Meanwhile, Chile played well in another match, but failed to win in the end. They played well in the first half, but looked out of sorts in the second half, which may have had something to do with their lack of preparation before the Copa America.
Argentina had 19 shots on goal against Canada, which suggests that Chile may face a lot of defensive pressure in their upcoming matches. I predict that Chile will try a defensive counterattack, while Argentina will look to score again if they can keep up their offensive attack.
In my opinion, Chile will have a hard time avoiding conceding a goal in the match, and Argentina is expected to advance with two consecutive wins.
