Time is not going well in PSG. After leaving the Champions League, both the fans of the team heard. However, Lionel Messi has been seen in the national team. The magician gave some moments as a gift in the return match. Created opportunities, found fake. Giving a lively football gift in his presence, Argentina easily lost to Talani's team Venezuela.
Lionel Scaloni’s side beat Boca Juniors 3-0 on Saturday morning. Anhel Di Maria extended the lead in the second half after Nicolas Gonzalez led the team in the first half of the World Cup qualifiers. The last goal was scored by the host captain.
Venezuela, the only country from Latin America to have never played in a World Cup final, dropped out of the fight long ago. However, the team played hard on the opponent’s field.
In the 33rd minute, the goalkeeper somehow blocked the shot of Huaquin Correa with Messi’s great pass. After two minutes he could no longer. Saren Gonzalez did the rest on a great slide in De Paul’s excellent low cross.
Venezuela missed a great chance to equalize four minutes later. Randan’s cross failed to send the ball into the net with Martinez’s book in the D-box. In the 53rd minute, another opportunity came in front of him. This time he could not keep his head on the cross.
Alexis McAllister could not take advantage of the golden opportunity in the 81st minute when he got the ball in the D-box from the byline. The young Argentine midfielder came out from very close. Three minutes later, Messi’s excellent pass gave him another chance. But he could not take the shot avoiding the defender.
Di Maria doubled the lead in the 69th minute. He caught De Paul’s extended ball from his own half, avoiding three defenders and finding the net in a chip shot from just outside the box.
Messi made it 3-0 in the 62nd minute. In the D-box, Messi entered the six-yard box with lightning speed, avoiding the offside trap by increasing the ball to The Maria. After getting a pass from his PSG teammate, he dropped the ball with his chest and did the rest.
Despite trying hard, Argentina could not increase the gap after that. The team, which had already secured a place in the World Cup in Qatar, was unbeaten in 30 matches in a row, starting in mid-2019.
