Martinez was in terrific form for la Albiceleste this summer, and it looks he continued where he left off in the Copa America.
Alejandro Garnacho also had a rare opportunity to play for his country, coming on as a replacement in the last 11 minutes.Alejandro Garnacho’s emotional reaction to assisting Paulo Dybala in Argentina’s triumph over Chile | Bolavip US

He scooped up the ball on the left wing and carried it forward before passing it to Dybala, who scored from outside the box.
In a memorable brief outing off the bench for the United winger, Garnacho had one shot on goal and completed 82% of his eleven passes.Image
