The Rivalries live a lifetime but the hype loses its sheen and this battle of the Americas has just lost its unpredictability, Argentina have routed Brazil with a scoreline of 4-1 and it looked like men against boys. The last time Brazil won against Argentina was back in July 2019.

Argentina who are without the likes of Lautaro Martinez, Lionel Messi and Paulo Dybala

Argentina who are without the likes of Lautaro Martinez, Lionel Messi and Paulo Dybala in the frontline still managed to score 4 goals in front of a robust on-form Selecao. The trio of Raphinha, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo could just watch and admire the operation of efficient football by the argentinians who proved to be on a different level than the other. 

The world cup winners of 2022

The world cup winners of 2022 have dominated south american for quite a while now and look to continue their legacy with no one even in a distant second to challenge the La Albiceleste.

The match started with a confusing lineup from Scaloni as he placed 5 midfielders on the pitch and Enzo Fernandez in a front two with Julian Alvarez looking like they wanted to win the midfield battle and relax with the ball at their feet. But Julian Alvarez’s tenacity earned him a goal just in the 4th minute and after that it looked like only one team came to play.

Cristian Romero got caught up on his own feet and gifted the ball to Cunha

La Albiceleste toyed with their opponents as forays from both the flanks were made frequently by the runners and they were able to find bodies inside the box. Brazil’s sole goal from Matheus Cunha came after an individual mistake from Cristian Romero who got caught up on his own feet and gifted the ball to Cunha.

Other than that mistake, Argentina did not put one foot wrong and were all over the Selecao. The quality of the midfield of Argentina with Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernandez and Alexis Mac Allister was insane and proved to be the difference between the two sides. 

Enzo was the MVP of the match

Enzo was the MVP of the match as he scored one goal and assisted another for Mac Allister. He frequently churned out quality crosses into the penalty box of Brazil which were a constant threat for Bento, who had a very average game.

Julian Alvarez scored in the 4th minute. Enzo Fernandez scored in the 12th minute. Alexis Mac Allister scored in the 37th minute and Giuliano Simeone scored in the 71st minute after coming from the bench. For Selecao only Matheus Cunha featured on the scoresheet when he scored a low shot against Dibu Martinez in the 71st minute.
