Argentina wins Copa América opener, while Chile plays to draw
Messi waited until the 88th minute to leave his mark in the Copa América 2024 opener. He delivered an assist to Lautaro Martinez, while Julián Álvarez scored shortly after halftime to help Argentina beat Canada 2-0 last Thursday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Argentina and Chile have won three of the last five Copa América tournaments.
Argentina’s win came in 2011, setting the stage for its 2022 World Cup title run.
But Argentina endured losses to Chile at the Copa América finals in 2015 and 2016 – the latter causing Messi to briefly retire from the national team.
