In this way, the group that directs Javier Mascherano they lost the two games they played (they had just lost 2-0 against Paraguay) and now they must add 3 in the remaining two, which will be against Peru and the local team, Colombia.
defeat with Brazil
The Argentine national team, like what happened last Saturday, paid too dearly for the mistakes made at the beginning of the game, could not recover later and ended up regretting a defeat that places them in a complex situation, with almost no margin for error, facing to what will come
It is that the team led by Mascherano must beat Peru (Wednesday) and Colombia (Friday) to aspire to an eventual third place in the area, which would allow them to qualify for the hexagonal.
After a start in which he was planted in the rival field, a defensive error placed him in an awkward position for the albiceleste team.
After a chance lost by Brian Aguirre (4m.), the Brazilian team got maximum income from a mistake by Nahuel Genez in a coverage. The cross sent by Marlon allowed Guilherme Biro to extract a forced shot that went past Gomes Gerth’s left post to translate into the opening of the scoreboard.
The goal gave peace of mind to those led by Ramón Menezes, who pressed and forced the rival to leave, generating anxiety in that defensive block.
Nevertheless, a maneuver by Julián Fernández left Argentina on the brink of equality, after the boy from Vélez Sarsfield was brought down by goalkeeper Mycael in the area. Uruguayan referee Gustavo Tejera took the penalty without hesitation.
The execution, in charge of Gino Infantino, enabled the save by the Atlético Paranaense goalkeeper, with his right foot (25m.).
The shock hit the Argentine team hard, which began to make mistakes and distractions, which took their toll again.
Thus, around 35m, a ball that could not be rejected by Perrone was left behind by the Chelsea midfielder, Andrey Santos, who covered a few meters and took a cross shot to beat Gomes Gerth for the second time.
The changes introduced by Mascherano, with the addition of Nicolás Paz and Santiago Castro, sought to give the Albiceleste cast more volume and depth.
But beyond some brushstrokes by the Real Madrid boy, associating himself with Perrone or Maestro Puch, it was difficult for the Argentine team to be original and not fall into the temptation of hitting the ball.
There was a weak shot at Perrone’s career, the new value of Manchester City, which rested in the hands of goalkeeper Mycael as the clearest chance. And then very little else.
On top of that, the winger Agustín Giay, one of the best performers, left with a severe injury to his left ankle, a problem that clearly compromises his continuity in the tournament.

On the contrary, Brazil almost sought to defend itself with control of the ball, although every time it attacked thoroughly it could complicate. And so, around 42m away, Boca’s defender, Lautaro Di Lollo, committed a reckless penalty on Vitor Roque, which the striker himself exchanged for a goal, with a shot into the center of the goal (0-3).
Only for the statistics was González’s conversion, after a powerful header (44m.), which allowed Argentina to make up the result, although they did not retire with a look of concern, for all that they had to go through.
In the match played early in the morning, Paraguay, with a header from Diego González, beat Peru 1-0.
