Argentina recorded a third consecutive victory in their "A" at the Copa America after winning 2-0 over Peru and finishing with a total of 9 points. Argentina has not conceded a goal in the tournament so far.
Both goals for the world champions were the work of Lautaro Martinez, who was on target in the 47th and 86th minutes. In the 70th minute, Argentina were awarded a penalty, but Leandro Paredes hit the post. In the last minute of regular time, Peru had an excellent chance after Franco Sanellato's header bounced off the post.
"Albiseleste" they played without their injured star Lionel Messi, but nevertheless created a lot of chances in front of the opponent's goal, BTA reported.
In the other meeting from group “A“ Canada and Chile ended in a 0-0 draw, which proved to be enough for the “Maple Leaf” to finish in second position and also move on. Already in the 20th minute, Gabriel Suaso from Chile was sent off for a second yellow card and red accordingly. Thus, Canada's task was greatly facilitated, and only a number of omissions prevented the team from achieving success.
