The Argentina national team got its first win in the Copa America by beating Uruguay 1-0 in the second round of Group A. The goal was converted by Guido Rodríguez, after connecting a great center of Lionel Messi in the 12 minutes of play.
The start of the match was electric in Brasilia, with an Argentine national team that came out determined to look for the match. In fact, in the first handful of minutes he had several cons, first with Messi and then with the hand of Nicolás González, who gave the ball to Lautaro Martínez but the Inter striker could not concretize the very good chance.
So much was the national team, that in the 12 minutes came the 1 to 0. La Pulga threw a center from the left and Rodriguez, who got in between the starters in place of Leandro Paredes, gave a shot to the ball to establish the advantage. In the second half, Argentina could not maintain the intensity of the first stage against a Uruguay that went in search of the equalizer, although with little clarity. Averaging the complement, Messi again became master and lord of the ball and was the commander of some cons that the national team had to stretch the advantage, but could not get it right. With this result, and after Chile’s 1-0 win over Bolivia, Argentina and the Trasandinos are leaders of the zone with 4 points, followed by Paraguay with 3. Meanwhile, Uruguay and Bolivia are last without units. Next Monday, from 21.00, the national team will play its third match against Paraguay, also in Brasilia.

Finally, far from making “one or two” modifications as he had announced, Lionel Scaloni will have four changes from the eleven that came out on the court in the first presentation. And three of them will be on defense: Cristian “Cuti” Romero, Nahuel Molina and Marcos Acuña will come in in place of Lucas Martinez Quarta, Gonzalo Montiel and Nicolas Tagliafico. The only survivor is Nicolás Otamendi.Además, the one who will be left out for the first time in the coach’s cycle will be Leandro Paredes, who has a blow to the ribs and will be replaced by Guido Rodríguez.
