Colombia opened their 2019 Copa America campaign with a 2-0 defeat Saturday in Salvador, Brazil.
Argentina looked uninspired throughout their opening match of the tournament. The squad's form did not at all match the expectation surrounding them as they look to avenge their loss in the 2016 Copa final to Chile.
Any pressure put on Argentina can directly be linked to Lionel Messi, who has never won an international trophy. Against Colombia, Messi was held largely in check.

Colombia looked the stronger side from the start, stringing together possession but failing to convert through the first 45 minutes.
