Who Won the Argentina vs. Chile Match in Copa America?
Argentina cruised through their opening match at Copa America Centenario, disposing 2015 champions Chile 2-1 at Levi’s Stadium.La Albiceleste were without Messi in the lineup, as the Barcelona star is recovering from a back injury. Gerardo Martino’s squad started slow, albeit hitting the crossbar in the first few minutes.
After getting over the poor turnovers that marred the first half, Argentina’s execution improved after halftime. Angel Di Maria scored easily after a Chile turnover in the first minutes of the second half, and Argentina controlled from there. Banega put the game away for good minutes later, as Argentina repeat the result from when these teams met back in March.
Argentina take the Group D lead with three points, but Chile are not out. With Panama and Bolivia forming the rest of the group, Chile will have ample opportunity to climb into the second position in the group.
Both teams return to action on June 10th, when Chile meets Bolivia and Argentina take on Panama.
