Argentina Claims 2-0 Victory

Alvarez Nets Two Goals

Argentina opened their bid to defend the Copa America title with a comfortable 2-0 win over Canada in Atlanta after goals from Julian Alvarez.

The match was played in front of a sell-out crowd at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and Argentina were in control for the majority of the game.

Alvarez gave Argentina the lead in the 10th minute with a neat finish after good work from Angel Di Maria.

The Manchester City forward doubled Argentina's advantage in the 25th minute with a powerful shot from outside the box.

Canada had a few chances to get back into the game, but Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez made some excellent saves to keep his team ahead.

In the end, Argentina were comfortable winners and will now face Brazil in the final.

Conclusion

Argentina's victory was a deserved one, and they will now be confident of beating Brazil in the final and retaining their Copa America title.

Canada, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their performance, but they can take solace in the fact that they made it to the semi-finals of a major tournament for the first time in their history.
