In the penultimate friendly before the Cup, Argentina spared the main players in the first half, but did not have great difficulties to overcome the rival
To close the FIFA date for South American teams, the Argentina took action to face the modest Jamaica and allowed himself to spare the main players called up. With Lionel Messi spared in the initial stage, as the game started on the bench, the current Copa América champions counted on the ’emergence’ of the new generation and secured the 3-0 victory.
Highlight for the attacker Julian Alvarez, who has been gaining more and more space with the Argentine team and went to the nets during the friendly against Jamaica. On the ‘other side of the generation’, Di Maria was responsible for leading the selection without Messi in the first half and helped the team to reach the 35th unbeaten game.

ARGENTINA IN THE FIELD!
With enormous dominance from the referee’s whistle, Argentina almost opened the scoring on the first arrival in the attack. At four minutes, Di María risked a shot and stopped in the good defense of Blake. at 11, Michael Antonio tried to respond to the Jamaican team, but failed to take advantage of the ball thrown into the attacking field.
Without being threatened in the defensive sector, the Argentine team felt even calmer to continue the search for the goal. And the goal paid off! At 12 minutes, Julián Álvarez completed a beautiful Lautaro Martínez and placed at the bottom of the nets. 1 to 0. Already at 18, Lo Celso tried to zoom in, but it stayed on almost in New York.
Still with the dominance of the actions, Argentina started to look for the second goal before the break. At 30 minutes, Guido Rodriguez got the leftover corner inside the area, but sent it over the goal. At 32, Lo Celso had another chance and missed his aim again. To close the initial step, Bobby Reid close to a draw for Jamaica. Break!
In the second half, Lionel Messi entered the field after another good Jamaican attack. At nine minutes, Morrison brought danger to the Argentine goal. Before that, Lautaro Martínez had stayed in the almost. Without having to force the pace, the Hermanos tried to extend with Messi, but Blake made a good save. After the chance, Messi insisted and scored two goals. 3 to 0. End of story!
