Argentina celebrates, but Panama complicated the friendly match

Panama came out to play their game, defend and try to counter-attack, although it rarely happened and they ended up losing 2-0 at the Estadio Monumental de Núñez.

Goalkeeper José Guerra’s performance in avoiding Argentina’s shots and the imbalance that could generate some attack on the right wing by Iván “Coloch” Anderson may be the most salvageable aspect of the Panamanian team led by coach Jorge Dely Valdés.

In the 15th minute, Messi suffered a strong foul from Kevin Galván, which even caused his knee to bleed, the Panamanian left back received a yellow card.

Messi had several chances to score from free kicks, but twice the post and the play of the Panamanian goalkeeper denied them a goal shout on five occasions, until he managed to score his goal in the friendly in the sixth direct attack.

Panama had an almost non-existent attack, where “Dibu” Martínez was almost one spectator more per game.

One of Panama’s strikes came in the 60th minute when Alredo Stephens sent the ball across the box from “Dibu” Martínez.

In the second half, there were a lot of changes in both teams.

In the second half, Panama continued to defend against Argentina, who continued to attack.

Even the first goal of the match was scored in the 77th minute when Messi took a free kick that hit the post, and Thiago Almada scored the first goal of the match after a rebound.

The second goal of the match was the work of Messi from a free kick that sent the ball over the net.
