Argentina defeated Canada 2-0 on Tuesday in the Copa America 2024 semifinal at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey to make back-to-back finals in the competition.
Defending champions Argentina will play either Uruguay or Colombia in the 2024 Copa America final after they comfortably defeated Canada 2-0.
Canada made a bright start to the match in New Jersey but Argentina took the lead when Julian Alvarez latched onto Rodrigo De Paul’s through-ball and confidently beat Maxime Crepeau.
Lionel Messi scored Argentina’s second shortly after the halftime break when he diverted Enzo Fernandez’s shot into the net. It was Messi’s first goal of the tournament.
Canada threatened late on but Argentina preserved their clean sheet and will be expected to defend their crown when they take to the pitch for Sunday’s showpiece final in Miami.
