Argentina vs Brazil score and updates

Di María, very sharp, scared the Brazilian defense again in the 28th minute. Cutting the ball from left to center and subjecting it to a deflection by Marquinhos to avoid another goal.

At 32, meanwhile, it was the turn of Lionel Messi. With little participation in that first half, to start and kick with danger from outside the area, near Ederson’s crossbar.

Brazil, meanwhile, ended the first half almost without disturbing the goal of Emiliano Martínez.

With Everton, Paquetá, and Neymar well contained. Tite’s team completely lacked ideas to break the well-buckled team of Lionel Scaloni, who went into halftime ahead.

Already in the second half, logically, Brazil changed its attitude. And from the outset, Richarlison had two dangerous chances. In the first one, he managed to convert but was canceled due to an advanced position. And in the second, Martínez, with a good save, prevented the tie.

Slowly, Argentina began to play dangerously closer to their goal, and Brazil, with more drive than football, took over the game.

The entry of Roberto Firmino by Fred changed the disposition of a Brazil urged by equality.
