Argentina continues with dominant forces after snatching a commanding 6-0 victory against Puerto Rico, which extends their continuing clean-sheet wins.
Wilfredo Rivera got an opportunity to net an early goal, but the effort was denied by goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez. Despite the save, Argentina did not lose control of the game.
Football icon Lionel Messi nears netting two goals with another addition of a strong header that was denied by Sebastián Cutler de Jesús. The World Champion’s fourth game came through an own goal that was committed by Steven Echevarría, who deflected a shot fired by Nicolás González into his own goalpost.
Lautaro Martínez, who came in as a substitute for Argentina, continued in his strong form by scoring two goals by first tapping in González’s cutback and then converting an assist from Messi into a goal. These two goals make it his involvement in the sixth and seventh goals in five games for the club and Argentina.
While Lionel Messi did all he could to score in the game, all-around performances showcased by Argentina gave a fine win.
On the other hand, Puerto Rico finds it difficult to pull a win against CONMEBOL opposition, as they are yet to secure a win in their seven previous games.
