International tournaments

The Copa America got underway Saturday morning and that has got football fans excited about international tournaments’. Brazil kickstarted their campaign with a 3-nil win against Bolivia. Philippe Coutinho got two of the goals after first converting from the penalty spot at the 50th minute. He headed home from close range for his second of the night. The best was Everton’s curling effort and was a fantastic strike taken when he found space to shoot close to the end.

Venezuela and Peru played out a goalless draw in the other group A match after being unable to convert their chances. Colombia won 2-0 against Argentina in the clash for the control of group B. This is their first win against Argentina in 12 years and is as a result of the lack of cohesion between the Argentine players. Argentina controlled the match, with them having most of the ball during the duration of the match. They also had the most shots on target and most pass completed of both teams. A moment of lost concentration saw Colombia score through Roger Martinez in the 71st minute. Duvan Zapata completed the win when he scored four minutes from time.

Other groups

Argentina still has a chance to qualify for the knockout stages but must pick themselves up quickly. Paraguay and Qatar also played a 2-2 draw in their group matchup. Paraguay was a goal up inside four minutes of the match when Oscar Cardozo converted from the penalty spot. Qatar was unfazed though and the pace of Ali Almoez caused the Paraguayan defence problems. A goal early in the second half put Paraguay 2-0 up but Ali Almoez scored to half the deficit. The comeback was complete when Juan Rodrigo Rojas put through his own net thirteen minutes from time. Both teams were unable to score and take the three points.

Uruguay easily won their opening match against Ecuador 4-0 with Nicolas Lodeiro opening the scoring in the 6th minute. Subsequent strikes from Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez had the points wrapped up. An unfortunate Arturo Mina own goal made it four and sealed the scoreline.
