Copa America Journal: Argentina tops current Copa champions Chile 2-1 to open up Group D play

The short history of Levi's Stadium has not witnessed a better display of soccer.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- In the marquee match-up of the 2016 Copa America Centenario so far, Argentina beat Group D adversaries Chile 2-1 at sold-out Levi's Stadium.

The opponents were the same as faced off for the 2015 Copa America title last summer in Chile, with Argentina exacting a small measure of revenge in topping the standing Copa champions. Second-half goals from Angel Di Maria and Ever Banega, with each assisting for the other, made the difference in a game that featured enthralling soccer from both teams.
