BLUE GUARDIAN: Lisandro Martinez stifled Chile players while Man Utd star still shows off ‘GREAT’ attack quality with ‘1 Key pass, 9 Passes into final third’ in vital victory for Argentina
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.
Defensively he was a rock, making two clearances and one interception for his side.
The United number six was also able to make two tackles as very little got by him on the night.
He was strong in the duel winning two out of his four ground battles and was victorious in one out of his two aerial battles.
