Argentina are safely through to the 2019 Copa America semifinals thanks to a 2-0 win over Venezuela at the Maracanã in the tournament’s second quarterfinal. The Albiceleste followed the formula from their last game against Qatar with an early goal followed by a solid defensive performance and a late clincher to get the victory without any real trouble. Barcelona’s Lionel Messi played all 90 minutes but was extremely quiet, and once again he got some serious help from the team.
Up next it’s a blockbuster semifinal against Brazil, and Messi cannot be quiet in that one.
