Hosts Brazil moves to the final of Copa america 2019, will either face underdog Peru or reigning Champions Chile.
Brazil advanced to the first Copa America final since 2007 with a 2-0 win over old rivals Argentina on Tuesday in a pulsating match decided by a goal in each half from Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino.
Goals from Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino were enough to defeat Argentina tonight, although it was far from a classic performance from Tite’s men.
Jesus shined bright, scoring the opener before setting up Roberto Firmino for a regular finish in the final of Copa19
Brazil is on a winning streak in the tournament without conceding a single goal.
They have been on an unbeaten streak of fourteen matches ever since losing to Belgium in the 2018 World Cup.
Argentina, led by Messi, had their chances, hitting the woodwork twice during the match.
Sergio Aguero hit the bar with a header in the first half and Lionel Messi struck the post 11 minutes into the second half.
Messi, who has still not won a major title with Argentina, was more influential than in his first few matches here but was still a pale shadow of the player who has won everything with Barcelona.
Brazil, who have lost twice in 42 games under coach Tite, will face either Peru or Chile on Sunday’s final.
Even twitter showered love for Messi:
