Argentina 1-0 Paraguay

Argentina earnt a hard fought 1-0 win against Paraguay at the Estadio Mané Garrincha de Brasilia to book their place in the quarterfinal of the CONMEBOL Copa America.

Argentina made the better start and despite rotation in the side looked the stronger side from the outset.

In the opening period ‘Papu’ Gómez sent a left foot shot just over the bar from outside the area before Sergio Agüero failed to take advantage of a Paraguayan defensive mix up.

Argentina were soon able to convert a period of superiority to a goal advantage. Lionel Messi lead the attack, finding Ángel Di María who masterfully set up Sevilla’s ‘Papu’ Gómez for a classy, clinical finish. It was 1-0 and it was well deserved. (21 Jun 2021)
