Argentina eked out a 1-0 win over Paraguay in a Group B Copa America 2020 fixture on Tuesday at the Estadio Nacional De Brasilia. Alejandro Gomez’s 10th minute strike separated the two sides as Paraguay struggled to create clear-cut opportunities to put pressure on Emiliano Martinez’s goal.
Lionel Messi, having scored and assisted a goal in the first two games in the Copa America, didn’t have a decisive impact in the attacking third, he still managed to add another feather to his cap.
Messi has now equalled Javier Mascherano’s 147 appearances for Albiceleste and should he be handed a start next week against Bolivia by coach Luis Scaloni, he would go on to be the most capped player for Argentina.
