In Miami, Lionel Andrés Messi He was once again the figure of the team, beyond the fact that they had given him a stern personal mark. He scored a penalty and another after hitting him above the goalkeeper. Lautaro Martinez He had one and he was unforgiving. Good debut for Enzo Fernández, who almost scored a great goal. Goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli has not been kicked on goal.
Geronimo Rollers (6):
He took a center in the second half; it was all he did. He barely got a couple of passes behind his teammates.
Nahuel Molina (6):
In the first half he projected more. Continue to be reliable.
German Pezzella (6):
They did not suffer in defense because Honduras did not attack. Security provided.
Lisandro Martinez (6):
He played with the aggression he is used to, despite hardly any training. Flawless, as always, at the time of the first pass. He was the dominant voice of the defense.
Nicola Tagliafico (6):
He goes to everyone and leaves his skin in every game. He matched well with the attack.
Rodrigo De Paul (7):
He is the engine of the team and never gets tired. He associated himself well with Lo Celso and offered to help Messi.
Leandro Paredes (6):
He played with intensity as if it were a playoff game. Correct in circulation.
Young Lo Celso (7):
Another high point. They penalized him. He handled the ball well and in several sections he dressed up as Messi with amazing passes.
Lionel Messi (9):
They made a rigorous personal sign to him because Castellanos followed him everywhere. He rubbed the lamp twice and scored two goals. He scored from a penalty in the last minute of the first half and in the second half scored a great goal with his seal.
Lautaro Martinez (7):
He had one and he was unforgiving. He scored the team’s first goal for being where the game required him to touch the goal on a cross behind Papu.
Aleksandr Gomez (7):
One of the most participatory. He was the far left and he was pure spark. He assisted Lautaro and landed a left footed shot on the crossbar.
Julian Alvarez (5):
He started playing on the left and then moved to the center. He had a clear one and the doorman parried it.
Thiago Almada (5):
He debuted and lacked some mobility.
Enzo Fernandez (6):
The debut didn’t weigh him down. He pressed and stole Messi’s second goal. The stick denies him the goal after a right.
Nehuen Perez (6):
They didn’t attack him and he was right with the ball at his feet.
