The second half was played by Alejandro Garnacho, and Argentina easily beat El Salvador 3-0 in Philadelphia yesterday.
They dominated the game, getting 24 shots to 2 for their opponents and having an impressive 80% of the ball.
In the 16th minute, Cristian Romero of Tottenham gave La Albiceleste the lead. Enzo Fernandez of Chelsea then scored their second goal.
Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United, who was with the team, went back to Manchester before the game to get ready for his much-anticipated return from injury against Brentford in a week.
So, United was interested in Alejandro Garnacho, a 19-year-old star.
The winger has had a great season and has earned a spot as a starter on the team. He mostly made his name last season as a bench player.
Due to his great play, it was said last night that Garnacho is the current favorite to win the club’s famous Player of the Year Award.
He came off the bench and played the whole second half at Lincoln Financial Field. Giovani Lo Celso scored Argentina’s third goal while he was on the field.
There was a lot of praise for Garnacho, and Sofascore gave him a 7.4 grade.
During the first half, the winger had one shot that went in and one that missed the goal.
As you might expect, he ran past tired El Salvadorian legs and made three of his four dribble tries.
The player also played a big role in the attack, hitting the ball 37 times and making two important passes.
Aside from that, Garnacho had a great throwing record when he left the field of play, making 26 out of 29 passes.
Aside from that, he was very careful with the ball and only lost it four times in the 45 minutes he played.
The young Argentine player talked about how proud he was to play for Argentina in his fourth game for the world champions. He will be trying to make another good impression when his country plays Costa Rica early Wednesday morning UK time.
It was recently claimed that the young star wants to play for Argentina in either the Copa America or the Olympic Games this summer. She wants to add another medal to the South American country’s already impressive collection of trophies.
