The goal in the 9th minute... like Julián, on July 9th, here.
The match began at a frantic pace, with both teams showing determination in search of a goal. It was Julián Álvarez who opened the scoring for Argentina in a brilliant move that recalled his outstanding performance in the 2022 World Cup. From that moment on, the Albiceleste took control of the game and created several goal-scoring opportunities, with Lionel Messi once again demonstrating his quality and experience in key moments.

In the second half, Messi extended Argentina's lead after a team play involving Rodrigo de Paul and Enzo Fernández, culminating in the 14th goal of the Argentine star's career in the Copa América.

Now, the team led by Lionel Scaloni is preparing to face the winner of the exciting match between Colombia and Uruguay in the grand final to be held on July 14th at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

The outstanding performance of Lionel Messi, who was named the Superior Player of the Match by MICHELOB ULTRA, reflects his importance in the Argentine national team's setup and his commitment to the team's success.
