‘1 important pass; 9 passes into the final third’: Lisandro Martinez displays ‘EXCELLENT’ attacking quality as Man Utd star keeps Chile’s strikers in check in crucial win for Argentina.

Argentina and Lisandro Martinez eventually made their dominance pay against Chile in a 1-0 victory which means they sit at the top of Group A with six points from six in Copa America.

The defending champions were totally in charge as they had 22 shots to Chile’s three.

The Argentines also enjoyed 62% of the ball but could only find a late winner in the 88th minute when striker Lautaro Martinez fired home after a spell of pinball in the area.

Manchester United’s inspirational centre back, Martinez, got yet another 90 minutes under his belt and four consecutive matches of playing every minute on international duty will be nothing but good news for fans of the club.

La Albiceleste were in total command defensively and his calm presence was a significant factor in this as Chile were held back with relative ease.

El Carnicero was given a score of 7.5 for his night’s work from Sofascore.

As fans of the Red Devils know only too well however, Lisandro brings so much more to the team than just his tenacity in defence.

The Argentine brought his usual calmness and effectiveness on the ball, something the Old Trafford crowd sorely missed throughout the majority of the campaign and will hope to see much more of in 2024/2025.

Martinez had 91 touches of the ball and completed 73 of his 82 passes for a percentage of 89% successful ones.

What’s more, he rarely just passes for the sake of passing and he was once again proactive and progressive making one key pass in the game and creating one big chance.
