Copa
America Semi Final 2
Argentina
played a scintillating soccer to thrash Paraguay 6-1 in the second semi final
of Copa America to set a title clash with hosts Chile on Saturday morning.
Though mercurial Messi did not score a single goal, he had a leg (Not hand like
Maradona) in almost all the goals. Argentina scored the first goal through
Marcos Rojo from a measured free kick from Messi and the second goal was a
result of a perfect through pass from Messi for Pastore to score. Lucas Barios
reduced the margin just before the break to give little hope for Paraguay. In
the second half Paraguay had no clue for the rampaging Argentina inspired by
inimitable Messi and they scored four more goals through Angel Di Maria (2)
Sergio Aquero and Gonzalo Higuain. In the process Argentina salvaged the goal
drought where they had scored just 4 goals till today’s semi final.
Let us
wait till Saturday to witness Messi Magic. However, Chile has the home town
advantage cheered by a partisan crowd and an ever dependable Bravo under the
Chilean bar who is the second highest capped player of the tournament after
Marquez of Mexico. . We can expect some spectacular shots and acrobatic saves
in the match. Please do not miss the mesmerizing moments of the final ,
