Goals from Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino
saw Brazil past Argentina in the Copa America
semi-finals.

Brazil moved into their first Copa America final since 2007
with a 2-0 win over Argentina in Belo Horizonte on
Tuesday.

Gabriel Jesus starred for Tite's men, scoring the opener
before setting up Roberto Firmino's sealer in the semi-final
at the Estadio Mineirao.

74' Martinez brings down Firmino, but the referee opts not to show the Argentina forward his second yellow card. La Albiceleste have to be careful to hold their composure, the game is not over yet.

BLOCK! A handball decision against Dani Alves allows Messi another opportunity to fire at goal from a free-kick. However, his effort from 20 yards clips the top of the wall and deflects out for a corner.
80 mins now and no reply from the Argentina camp

The first goal scorer Gabriel Jesus now comes off and replaced by Alan

Paulo Dybala comes in to replace Tagliafico: Looks like it may be a little too late though

87' Firmino goes on the charge down the right flank and loses out to Pezzella. The Argentina defender had to make that challenge.
Now this is real pressure!

89' Foyth rolls the ball into the feet of Lo Celso, who takes a touch before going for a strike at goal. However, the ball is blocked behind for a corner by Casemiro.

90' There will be four minutes of added time.
90' + 2' The ole chants are out from the Brazil fans as their side move the ball seamlessly around the pitch. Dani Alves fires a cross in from the right towards Firmino, forcing Foyth to head behind.
90' + 3' The corner gives Brazil a further opportunity to take time off the clock.
90' + 4' Yellow card Sergio Leonel Agüero del Castillo

Sergio Aguero before this competition said he wanted winning this Copa for his team captain, Lionel Messi. Looks like it's a dream for another day and competition

90' + 4' FULL-TIME: BRAZIL 2-0 ARGENTINA

FP

Believe it or not , this is the best Argentina have played in a while , Survived an initial onslaught and took the fight to Brazil; could’ve had a few goals. Nothing to be down or ashamed about, in fact, I see quite a few positives they can take away.

Now hopefully the Federation resolves their issues and appoints a good coach – and most importantly – sticks with him for a couple years. And I really think this new set of players can win the next Copa America, do well in Qualifiers, and make a fight of it at the next WC too.

Really hope Messi doesn’t retire either, both he and the team looked the best they have in quite a while.

What a horrible night for the GOAT...


....he can't do it alone sha.....

The pic would have been nicer with the inscription " Messi crashes out of the Copa America"

Maybe he would win the golden ball
