The Argentine soccer team began the fight to participate in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Lionel Messi’s team got off to a good start by beating Ecuador 1-0 in the World Cup tie.
Captain Messi scored the team’s only winning goal. The great star of the team gave victory to Argentina by scoring from the penalty spot in the 13th minute of the match. This is his 71st goal in international football.
Argentina received Ecuador at the La Bombonera stadium in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. It was as if the dispersion of fouls was more than the beauty of the game between the two teams in the stadium without spectators. Which has ruined the normal rhythm of the game.
The referee’s foul whistle sounded at least 35 times throughout the game. Ecuador has always had a reputation for body football. On this occasion Argentina has also tried to compete with them. Whose turn is a scatter of fouls.
Messi and Dibalara were unable to attack very hard even though they were in possession of the ball 70% of the time. Despite attacking eight times in the allotted time, Argentina managed to make only 2 shots on goal. Ecuador, for its part, failed to fire a single shot along the target.
Messi raised hopes from a corner in the seventh minute of the game, but Argentina did not get anything good from there for a foul. Ecuador hinted at an attack a minute later, but it didn’t last long.
In the opposite 11 minutes, Ecuadorian defender Parvis Estupinan fouled Argentine midfielder Lucas Ocampos in his own D-box. The referee immediately blew the penalty whistle. What determines the outcome of the match.
Argentine captain Messi was not wrong in seizing the easy opportunity to score a goal. He took a strong shot to the right from the penalty spot just 12 meters away. Ecuadorian goalkeeper Alexander Domínguez jumped in the right direction. However, he was defeated by the speed of Messi’s shot.
Argentina did not have to do many tests to maintain the leadership of this goal. The determination on the defensive end was more striking than in the past. However, the Albiceleste have repeatedly lost in midfield and in attack. However, Messi was having a difficult time adjusting to Ecuador due to his physical strength.
Ocampos had a good chance in the second half of the game. He tried to score with a far post holding Messi’s outstretched ball. This time the Ecuadorian archer got in the way. He somehow touched his hand and sent the ball into the corner. Once again, Argentina is desperate.
Argentina won comfortably with a goal from Messi as there were no more goals in the rest of the time. Argentina ranks second in the table with its first victory in the Latin American region. Four teams have yet to enter the field. Whose first game is Saturday morning.
In the other two matches of the day, Paraguay and Peru drew 2-2 and Uruguay beat Chile 2-1. Luis Suárez and Maximiliano Gómez scored two goals in Uruguay’s victory.
Tomorrow (Saturday) Bangladesh will play its first match in the World Cup qualifiers at 6:30 am Bangladesh time. Another strong team is Brazil, the opponent is Bolivia. Colombia and Venezuela will go out into the field an hour before them.
