Argentina blanks Canada 2-0 in Copa America action
Canada 's Alphonso Davies battles for possession with Nahuel Molina of Argentina during the CONMEBOL Copa America group A match between Argentina and Canada at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Argentina won 2-0 on June 20, 2024, in Atlanta. Canada held top-ranked Argentina scoreless in the first half but conceded a Julian Alvarez goal early in the second, eventually falling 2-0 to the star-studded South Americans in the opening match of Copa America on Thursday.
Canada bent but didn’t break in a scoreless first half and kept Messi under control, although every touch from the Inter Miami star seemed dangerous. Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez had to make an acrobatic save to block a Eustaquio header off a Cyle Larin cross just before halftime. The 16-country tournament features 10 teams from South America and six guest sides from CONCACAF, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean.
MGM had underdog Canada at 9.00 to win prior to kickoff, meaning a $10 bet would return $80 in profit. Argentina was 1.32, meaning a $10 wager would return $3.20 in profit.They were to take part in the 2001 edition in Colombia, part of their reward for winning the 2000 Gold Cup. But they never made it there with Canada Soccer sending its players back to their clubs when CONMEBOL, on the eve of the tournament, postponed the event for security reasons only to reinstate it days later.
It was the same lineup that coach Jesse Marsch used in a scoreless draw against France in a June 9 warm-up in Bordeaux.
