his 183rd cap for Argentina 108 goals that's pretty good but really the fire fire power for this team is up front and that is Jonathan David and it is also Kyle Len aun cuts it in sonom Buchanan is's able to recover spins back the other way Johnston for help David in the area comes inside back out that's pedus who will let it go and that's up over the bar over the next couple of weeks Davey sends that one in bounces through to The Far Side Buchan and lays it back the sto now just too many white and blue shirts between him and gold trying to settle the middle he can and it's a break out the other way for Argentina it's a 2v z it's julot Alvarez and K Po's able to make the Stop N he picks up the second ball trying to cut it back on it St he and it's Swept Away by Liam [Applause] Miller mallister trying to run it in Messi looking to clip it up and a swing and a miss there loose touch there for Len couldn't connect with jonan David P is trying to go over the top Messi gets inside of B beo Messi cuts it wide the strike does come up and it is Davies blocked by the wall it's Liam Miller on the second attempt that was blocked by someone it spins in behind and now can Argentina come back the other way in transition deul is a couple of different options plays that one wide Here Comes Messi options either side hooks it across for aunia and crpo kind of got lost on that one it's rolled across the empty net no one there in a white and blue shirt will now play it form there's no really in the middle now some late Runners Davies to the by line Davies cuts it in behind l it's going to fall for Buchanan and he couldn't get his feet and his hips right there and he miscues It Wide oh that ball had to come back first time for Jonathan David and that's what they wanted Alfonso Davies newo across for Alfonso Davies head Miller making the Run use davies's run to come inside David now Davies did he time it he did Alonso Davies in front and a second chance it's still in play it's David shot that's blocked those mistakes that they've made you're not going to get too many mistakes against the team like Argentina before you get punished dve he's got to scramble back there he nutmeg de Paul but he couldn't get back to that ball now de Paul early cross in bomito could get there time and kpo is down to make his second save of the game as Alexis mallister hereen formerly of Orlando city rolls It Wide for Buchanan numbers coming forward for Canada Buchanan can he play it back for Len he can Len's crossed into the middle saved the rebounds going to come wide in the end from Alonso Davies that was Jonathan David or was it in fact who sto got his head to it yeah this ball what a ball in from Kyle Len and it wasio you're right good forward by peretz there misc controlled Messi trying to play for julan Alvarez kpo coming all the way out Alvarez didn't have an angle on that one he just kind of scuffs it in kpo hey John no it's it was it's unusual to have this uh a stadium quiet when Argentina is uh is playing but you could tell that they're starting to get un oh kpo didn't get there in time and julan Alvarez no it's going to be whistled for a foul or is it going to be given as a goal here as Jesus Valenzuela was looking at it and it is Argentina who grabbed the goal he knows he's going to get trucked by Maxim kpo and then julan Alvarez has an open goal rolls it into the back of the net so poor from Canada though you come out for the second half you've had a great first half you're sleepwalking a little bit the ball's out for a throw in able to score the first goal the Copa America is the second going to follow quickly Messi into the middle mallister Scoops it up Messi heads it along Alvarez tried to bring it down and kpo able to react and push it out for another Corner spin here and hit this one how quickly the releases he doesn't get it all the way you can see a little bit of a deflection there sto getting back COA in Alvarez able to bring it down he stuck it behind there on the throw resets for dle wide for D Maria on Hill D Maria cutting it in D Maria puts it over the bar got his head to it Davies Miss controls de Maria has a couple different options picks out Messi Leon Messi johnon came into the last moment there to break that up he had to make on a stock you good pressure there to Win It Away David's going to again on the end of it David try to cut it in the Middle Air and bouncing ball Miller was trying to get there and Martinez was there first Martinez able to come collect oh looking for the quick one he wants to go quick kpo is backing off Messi's bringing it down Messi save kpo still work to be done Messi picks it up kpo shattering him it comes off of cornelius's head but instead he backs up and then you've got lonel Messi first shot gets back how many times have we seen this in the back of net see you later it comes off cornelus his head sto sends it in it pounces shalberg is going to collects fakes the pass Clips it back into the middle and that header is missed to the next level as a team with Canada and you don't take this job if you don't shaur now trying to get into the box he goes down there he was F of the referee had a good look at it the questionman comes where and that contact unfortunately for schafberg is outside the box looks like check complete mallister picks it back up Johnson wins the ball is M con now coming forward for Canada con for Johnston Crossing into the middle air and was in the area and it ends up just stopping dead in between players and ailan Martinez able to swallow it up schafberg little hesitation caught from behind it falls for Kyle Len couldn't get a chance to shoot there and now quickly the other way and Messi snuck in behind Messi running in Leo Messi the chip and it ends up wide he gets in behind Cornelius is tracking back and I think does just enough there to take away Messi's angle to go across I actually think he even gets the slightest of touches on Messi's boot TNT stadium in Dallas coverage starting at 5:00 p.m. Eastern on Fox kickoff at 6 Eastern and a giveaway and a chance that kpo is able to make his fifth save of the game on I don't know what happened oh boy cuz he he had joined into the attack there with Laro Martinez watch it here look at bombito extends goes through the ball and then catches Messi on the on the boot Chile in the same stadium in which they played the 2016 Copa America final that Chile won on penalties Messi in the middle rolls it right through the center and that one's it Argentina finally get their second it's Loro Martinez who slams the door this time Cornelius was too far out disconnected from the back line but of course there's no pressure you got to back up a little bit you can't go out and engage with that time much time with lonel Messi to dissect the defense nutmeg on kpo and Laro Martinez Off the Bench three goals in the cop America last time they won in 2021 but certainly Brazil have something to say about that Colombia haven't been beaten two years Uruguay in the USA's group and that was just misplayed in the air by bumo it takes two different deflections finish this one off with the night cap passed Iran's Alid for the second most goals you're seeing this more by the wayer history you're seeing the wall in front of the wall That's to distract the goalkeeper so he can't see the ball or is it all a Decoy for Rodrigo deul nope it's Messi and it's a comfortable save in the end six of the night for maxim Creo and as he punts it forward that's how the opening night of Copa America ends Argentina opening up the defense of their title with a two-nil win
