00:00On a steamy night outside New York the champions of South America take on the
00:08last men standing from North America. Julian Alvarez starting up front once
00:12again he just has one goal in this tournament the man that's on the bench
00:15Letauro Martinez the top goal scorer in this tournament Jonathan David who
00:20starts alongside Kyle Lahren Canada's all-time leading goal scorer. Can they
00:24show it again tonight and what is once again Buenos Aires North at this Copa
00:29America. Lahren fights his way through Shafferberg's on the far side the ball
00:36got slowed up Jacob Shafferberg trying to find an angle blasts it over some of
00:41these balls off of this natural grass surface can Shafferberg get on the run
00:44that touch is going to work around the outside of Montiel Shafferberg will run
00:47at Montiel Shafferberg on the deck rolls it wide. It was an area of the game Jesse
00:53Marsh really felt that they did have the advantage getting their athleticism
00:56getting their speed the open spaces in those moments Di Maria from Messi running
01:02at Cornelius back in for Lionel Messi puts the shot wide. And here's a great
01:10example with Canada out of shape they turn the ball over. Johnson had to get
01:14rid of it quick David had to get rid of it quick there's space there for Kona to
01:18run into Jesse Marsh waving his arms and now coming on the run Lahren in the
01:22middle Shafferberg as well it slows up Lahren picks it up he's got
01:26Shafferberg it's beyond him
01:33a turn up for different runners meant for Alvarez brings it down Alvarez rides
01:39the challenge Alvarez scores Argentina take the lead
01:49first touch is phenomenal gets in behind him and now he's got the advantage
01:54because if Bambino fouls him here did I have a goal-scoring opportunities off
01:58the field he pulls his leg out at the last minute settles himself again and
02:02then just rolls the ball between the legs of Maxime Crampot for the opening
02:06goal and you think about Lionel Scaloni and just the way he's able to seamlessly
02:11make changes to a team and plug and play midfielders and drop the leading goal
02:15score in the tournament bring on another guy who starts from Manchester City
02:18scores a goal but probably see a yellow card here yeah
02:26Jonathan David coming in on Romero first yellow of the night Romero will
02:32continue it goes long quickly Davies miscontrols it Di Maria gets there
02:36trying to catch Crampot had the look had the open net put it over
02:43Romero a bit banged up a moment ago DePaul bangs up right now Messi able to
02:47turn to a big pocket of space that he'll run into DePaul back for Messi
02:52Messi waiting for Taliafico here he is Taliafico that took a block that's out
02:58for a corner now it goes long Di Maria got in behind a Davies Cornelius comes
03:03across Di Maria brings it down Di Maria Alvarez leaves it for Messi Messi
03:09cutting in Messi puts it wide and then just cuts it back to Messi who shapes up
03:15as you would expect on the left chops Johnson and then goes for the right foot
03:19but a good job by Bambito at the end there because he didn't bite against
03:24Sakura that kept them in it to the very end
03:26Montiel for Messi for Di Maria off of Davies header Di Maria couldn't get
03:30across the way at first cuts it back in Messi peeling off DePaul it's too far
03:34in front of Messi McAllister picks it up Messi trying to chip and it's over the
03:38top good traction on that ball to get this one in deep he does it came off an
03:46Argentina had David saved by Emiliano Martinez who made himself big in his
03:51near post and it's out for a corner because we've seen about once a game
03:55Messi go for the Olympico goal that's the one thing he's never done in his
04:00career as he has it back off the throw in for DePaul able to turn no one there
04:05cuts it back into the middle cone a first touch only as far as Gonzalez it's
04:09in it's Enzo Fernandez who puts it in now Canada's arguing they want offside
04:16on that they're gonna just make sure with the lines but it looked to me that
04:19that's a goal and it is yeah Lino Messi with his first goal of the tournament
04:23how about that exactly how we all thought it was gonna happen as well a
04:26triple sub we'll see they put Shaffer Berg's number up Jacob Shaffer Berg is
04:32off they put Richie Luria's number up and Luria is off DePaul dance the
04:40tightrope that Shaffer Berg didn't get earlier Jesse Marsh is furious Alvarez
04:44what a control Alvarez saved by Kripo and he covers up his first save of the
04:49night Jesse Marsh's head in his hands he can't believe that that was flagged as
04:54still being in play and they didn't get the call the one earlier Ahmed the other
04:58way for Canada comes back for Kone who seems to have recovered from the knock
05:02he took earlier comes inside they're giving him the space Kone puts it in the
05:06stands between the two center backs right over the head of Pompito that is
05:11inch perfect coming forward in for David lets it go Larin sets it back Kone
05:17off-balance almost got back to it Di Maria was there now he needs some help
05:21on healthy Maria dribbling around in his own six-yard box Johnson in a wrestling
05:26match able to win it back on the outside Johnson trying to charge it in
05:29I'll look out the other way now and so Fernandez to play and that's a needed
05:34foul stock you're saying it's not a foul he's gonna get a yellow card that's a
05:39that's a goal-saving foul from stop you there because on healthy Maria was wide
05:45open at the top of the screen and he just hacked down Rodrigo DePaul he knows
05:50what he's doing he's never getting to that ball and even just able to clip his
05:53ankle there but it's about as perfect a tactical foul as you're going to see
05:59because I was telling you feet go off and he's one of the players sitting on a
06:02yellow card who would be suspended for the final of book tonight Jonathan David
06:08will come off for Canada as Kripal snuffs that out now Liam Miller running
06:14the other way Miller trying to cut inside lost his footing lost the ball
06:17Davies of that's a tough tackle that he takes Alfonso Davies is hurt he's down
06:22behind the play yelling out for the training staff Argentina come the other
06:26way Messi on the run knocked out by Derek Cornelius and the concern right
06:31now is for Alfonso Davies to migrate to Canada first in Edmonton in the Vancouver
06:37we got one window we've got two subs left we got to go for both now still
06:42moving very gingerly nice going down now though yeah trying to run it off but
06:49that's huge one year we'll be coming on for Canada this Copa America so I'm
06:55interested to see what it gets added at the end of this game in terms of added
06:58time and then also now how this shuffles the pack for Canada to switch up the
07:03formation a little bit in for Kona Osorio
07:12running once more trying to slip that through for Ahmed and might have been a
07:19handball in there but a foul first Canada's bench is furious as Di Maria
07:24went down as we say how many of these substitutes laid on would be starters
07:31yeah there's so many other nations at this tournament doing the top score at
07:36the Copa America it's our Martinez who replaces the goal
07:40scorer of the opener tonight Julian Alvarez not really look I mean maybe but
07:47I'm sure that's a conversation normally with Lino Scaloni and you know messy
07:52about can you go 90 how do you feel and he went 90 off the back of missing a
07:56game and maybe being doubtful so oh boy here we go it's not what you want to do
08:01against this Argentina team just pure frustration there Kona just kicking the
08:04ball in the back of the pole who's playing out of pressure now in
08:10possession knocking the ball around some tired Canadian bodies out there now just
08:15chasing shadows trying to get back in possession
08:21so risky for him Miller's gonna pick it up Miller has learned takes it himself
08:26puts it up in the stands will be the duck to the English in Berlin will it be
08:31Colombia or Uruguay in Miami and we'll find that out tomorrow with another day
08:36night doubleheader again it's a giveaway Kyle Aaron hands it off all over Shane
08:40kicks a Martinez and it falls kindly into his hands it kept them far away for
08:46their goal and Martinez look at that it takes that little backspin because it
08:50comes off the bottom of his leg here there a last-ditch effort from Canada
08:56long switch to Ahmed I'm trying to find the space Molina on a yellow card cuts
09:01it back for Osorio Osorio's cross is headed just one it was all it was she
09:06again as Laren got out of the way of it they will be playing either the team
09:11with the longest current unbeaten streak in the world in Colombia or they will be
09:16playing even more than Brazil their greatest historical rival in Uruguay
09:21and the referee ends the game and we will see Argentina Sunday night in Miami
09:29for the Copa America final
