Argentina put on a dominant performance on Tuesday night

The match was a rematch of the 2021 Copa America final, which Argentina won 1-0.

Argentina took an early lead in the 10th minute. Paulo Dybala finished off a nice combination play with a driving run into the box and placed a shot just inside the far post.

Lautaro Martinez doubled the lead in the 28th minute. He received a pass inside the area, turned his defender, and fired a shot into the corner of the net.

Canada had their chances to get back into the game, but they couldn't convert their opportunities. Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David both had good chances in the second half, but their shots were saved by Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

The win was a good start to the tournament for Argentina. They are now the favorites to win the competition. Canada will need to regroup and try to get a win in their next match.
