2 minutes left of the match. Chile wasted no time trying to keep Argentina at bay. Because, even then Argentina could not score any goals. However, Lautaro Martinez made Argentina happy with the goal by failing their attempt. His only goal in the 88th minute beat Chile 1-0 as Argentina advanced to the Copa quarter-finals with one match remaining.

However, on this day, Argentina was still worried. Disappointment was growing among the supporters as Messi-Di Maria missed one goal after another. It seemed that Albiceleste would not be able to pay for the defeat against Chile in the Copa final in 2016. But in the end, Martinez overcame all fears and gave Argentina the desired victory. His goal won Argentina for the second time in a row.

Earlier, Argentina did not score in the first half in the first match against Canada. Then he won the match by scoring 2 goals in the second half. The same happened in the second match. In the first half of the match, Argentina took a total of 9 shots on goal with 62 percent possession of the ball. 3 of which were on target. In the 35th minute of the match, Messi’s strong shot from outside the D box did not reach the goal until the end. If not, maybe Argentina could have taken the lead in the first half and went into the break with relief.

After that, Argentina tried desperately in the second half. In the 55th minute of the match, Alexis McAllister’s goal was blocked by Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo. In the 60th minute, Nicolas Gonzalez took a strong shot after beating a Chilean defender. The goalkeeper could not even stop his shot. But in the end, Argentina’s goal was blocked by the crossbar. Chile was saved from conceding a sure goal. Regret is with Argentina.

After that, when the speed of the attack started to slow down, coach Lionel Scaloni made 5 changes. It also works. Although it took time in the beginning, Martinez came to destroy Chile in the 88th minute of the match. Chile claimed offside with the goal. But the VAR check shows that Martinez was not offside. Argentina celebrate the goal. In the end, the team left the field holding the celebration.
