Argentina wins the Copa America match as Lionel Messi demonstrates his ability to work magic even on a "springboard of a pitch."
The field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium received a lot of criticism from both sides. After an MLS game on Saturday was played on the standard artificial turf, grass was purportedly planted at the location. In 2026, a FIFA World Cup match will take place there.
The Argentine football team's Copa America championship defence got off to a difficult start on a bumpy runway of a surface as Lionel Messi led his team to a 2-0 triumph over the Canadian squad.
Argentina's first goal of the match was scored by Julián Álvarez in the 49th minute thanks to a wonderful through pass from Messi. He wasn't content with that, so in the 88th minute, he helped Lautaro Martínez double their lead.
