It was Argentina’s 1,000th official game and they crowned it with a win against their oldest rivals.
Lionel Scaloni’s side picked up their first win of the CONMEBOL Copa América 2021 by beating old rivals Uruguay at the Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia.
The only goal of the game was scored by Guido Rodríguez while legendary captain Lionel Messi was in inspired form. Messi was at the heart of all of Argentina’s best work and was a constant headache for a robust Uruguayan defense.
The big win means Argentina sit top of Group A alongside Chile with 4 points. Paraguay and Uruguay both have 3 points but have a game in hand while Peru are bottom with no points from 2 games. (18 Jun 2021)
