Argentina 3 - Mexico 0
Filed Under Notes
Argentina beat Mexico tonight to reach the Copa America Finals. Argentina will play Brazil in the Finals next Sunday. Argentina opened up the scoring when Gabriel Heinze guided home a chip from Juan Riquelme coming from a freekick to give Argentina the 1-0 lead just prior to the end of half.
Argentina scored their second goal in the 61st minute from a lovely chip from Leonil Messi over Osvaldo Sanchez’ head. Tevez found Messi on the right side all alone. Sanchez tried to come out, but Messi’s chip was a thing of beauty. Tevez is credited with an assist. The third goal came when Rafa Marquez fouled Tevez inside the penalty box. The ref called the penalty without any hesitation. Riquelme took the penalty. 3-0 Argentina.
With the win, Argentina will play Brazil in the Final, the same two teams the last time around with Brazil winning in penalty kicks.
