Sao Paulo, Brazil.- Argentina went down in the mud to take the third place of the Copa America of Brazil 2019 on Saturday after winning a 2–1 Chilean team that managed to derange astrossatise the star Lionel Messi, sent off in the first half alongside Gary Medel for by Gary Medel for by a squabour between the two. The Albiceleste managed to settle the match thanks to the goals of Sergio Agéero (m.12) and Paulo Dybala (m.22) and before the Arena Corinthians of Sao Paulo was transformed into a pitched battle with two teams that were used harshly – the most – in search of the Bronze.
With the score against, the Roja played hard, using all sorts of subterfuge that Paraguayan referee Mario Díaz de Vivar did not know how to read and the match went out of his hands. He expelled Messi and Medel with direct red in the 37th minute after a clash between the two footballers, with outstanding accounts of the last two Copa America finals of 2015 and 2016 that the Chileans beat the Argentines in penalty shootouts.

However, Argentina takes the podium of the Copa América, a deserved place after a tournament in which they went from the least to the most. Chile, with this defeat, puts an end to its golden generation. The party started cold, like the winter weather of the capital of Paulista. Neither selection came out with impetus in the blood.

The tonic of the first few minutes was the long balls and the interruptions for fouls. It is customary to say that no one wants to play this kind of match and the saying seemed to apply perfectly, although quickly the atmosphere began to heat up. He was the first to break the ice with a shot from outside the area who left grazing the stick of The Arias goal.Messi began to appear in the center of the field and the result of his genius was born the first goal. Shirt 10 left Arturo Vidal, his partner at Barcelona, sitting and was knocked down by Erick Pulgar in the medular.
Lionel took advantage of the Red’s passivity to quickly make space to Sergio Agéero, who easily haggled Arias and precisely defined to the bottom of the net. The Manchester City striker went straight to his faithful squeak to thank him for the gift. The goal was a jug of ice water for The Red, who also saw his great star, Alexis Sanchez, retire injured in the 17th minute.
Without overstepping the accelerator, Argentina dealt a second near-final blow ten minutes later. Lo Celso put a pass into the hole for Dybala overcoming two lines of Chilean players, who remained like stone cardboard dolls, standing and unreacting. The Juventus attacker did not waste it and beat Arias, who took forever to get out of the cave.

From there, Chile wanted to stop the smash based on squabreds and foul play. An entry behind Medel on Messi protested it with iras Vidal and the marimorena, the first marimorena, armed. Because minutes later Medel and Messi would be new to faces. The Chilean centre-back, a master of provocation, faced the Argentine striker, who this time entered the rag. The two put the heads together and they brace a little bit. The referee reached the scene at a thousand revolutions and expelled both of them, without thinking.
Second ejection in the race of the 10, he left three minutes after the green applauded by the public. On the contrary, the Paraguayan collegiate became the number one public enemy of the spectators, who dedicated a beep sound to the rest that rumbled throughout the stadium. On the resumption, Chile moved more easily in bewilderment. The still-current champion entered the match for a Lo Celso penalty over Aránguiz who had to review the VAR.

Arturo Vidal hasn’t failed since the 11 meters. The Reinaldo Rueda team already had the match where it wanted, completely out of control, without Messi on the turf and a whole second half ahead. Scaloni wanted to have a faster ball outing by giving entry to Di María by Dybala.The match was still broken. The two teams went without too much order in search of the sentence one and the tie the other.
Vargas had the boards in his boots. His shot came out too focused. Agéero also, but the pass of Di María’s death fell short, and on another play, he did not hit the bow. The Chileans asked for hands in the area in the final minutes, but neither the referee nor the VAR saw anything and ended up defeated and with a fourth position that he knows little by little. Tomorrow turn to find out who will be the champion in the Maracana of Rio de Janeiro. Brazil and Peru, the candidates.
