In a match full of twists and turns, where the Argentine team was winning until the 92nd minute with a goal from Lisandro Martínez, Kevin Rodríguez appeared to tie the match with time up and stretch the definition to the penalty spot.
Meanwhile, Canada beat Venezuela and will now be the rival of the current world and American champion. We review the possible formations.

The other two players who had raised the alarm are Lisandro Martinez and Nicolas GonzalezThe defender was replaced in the second half due to discomfort, but he appeared to be in good condition, while the forward’s gestures were only due to the great fatigue he was suffering from.
