The World Preliminary Round has been fully restarted, and in addition to the touching of the round of 12, the matches from South America have also become the focus of attention of fans. In the 14th round, Chile's home field ushered in the challenge of the old rival Argentina, the two teams have previously played in the Copa America, Chile has eliminated Argentina led by Messi twice in a row, and finally lifted the championship trophy, which has also become the biggest pain in Messi's heart after losing the World Cup in 2014, this campaign actively gave up the competition to stay in Paris, he looked forward to his teammates to be able to send good news on the road.
After the opening, Argentina had a strong anti-guest posture. In the eighth minute Di Maria staged the Angel Descending, after receiving DePaul's pass, he swung left and right on the right, then suddenly cut inward to shoot with his left foot, the ball drew a wonderful arc at his golden left foot, perfectly circumventing the goalkeeper's ten fingers, straight into the far corner of the goal, Argentina made a fantastic 1-0 start. However, Chile is not a good lord, after conceding the goal they quickly made a counterattack, after the front moved forward, the opportunity to belong to Chile quietly came.
In the 20th minute of the game, Chile instigated an attack on the right side, Nunez diagonally passed to the box at a 45-degree angle, and Brilton at the back point still chose to head the ball directly at the goal at a small angle, and his shot successfully crossed the Argentine goalkeeper's ten-finger mark and pushed a small parabola in the air to tie the score 1-1 for Chile.
However, in the 33rd minute, Argentina once again exceeded the score. This time it was DePaul's instigation, he suddenly accelerated in the middle of the road to shake off two Chilean players who were following the defense, and the heavy cannon also made the management goalkeeper Bravo out of hand, when Lautaro astutely inserted an easy push to win the empty goal, rewriting the score to 2-1.
Sanchez then tested the Argentine goalkeeper with a tight sheet in the 36th minute, and Díaz also tried to shoot from a distance in the 44th minute, but Argentine goalkeeper Martinez was highly focused and rejected the sharp angle of the shot. In the second half, the gunpowder of the two teams gradually became stronger, first in the 69th minute, Maripan maliciously pushed down Paredes to receive a yellow card, and then Sanchez deliberately rushed to the yellow, and in the 94th minute of the game, Chile issued a free kick in front of the field, Sanchez chose to shoot directly and was firmly held by goalkeeper Martinez, and finally thought Argentina would win 2-1.
This match can be called a fiery game, after all, for Chile there is not only the pressure to qualify, but also for Argentina to find the dignity of the Copa America series for Messi. A total of 9 players received yellow cards in the whole game, which can be imagined as the intensity of the confrontation in this game. However, Chile lost it is a pity, they got up to 64% of the possession rate, the number of shots as many as 15 feet, while Argentina in the 36% ultra-low possession rate and 7 shots on the decline, still laughed to the end, showing their heritage.
As a result, Argentina continues to be firmly in second place in the table, while Chile has slipped to the 7th place because of this loss, and there is a four-point gap between Peru in fourth place, and the situation of qualifying is not clear. Argentina's ability to beat The World No. 24 Chile in the absence of Core Messi also proves that they do have the strength. But I don't know if Messi will feel embarrassed, after all, he has been there before, the team has not been able to win, this game he is not present, the team will win, and it is the home of the devil in Chile, which is somewhat unreasonable.
