The chants of 'Mes-si! Mes-si! Mes-si!' started more than an hour before kickoff and kept up throughout Argentina's 2-0 victory over Canada on Thursday night in the Copa América opener. Lionel Messi set up both goals on a night he played in his record 35th Copa América match. His pass led to Julián Álvarez's goal in the 49th minute and he extended his tournament assists record to 18 when he fed Lautaro Martínez in the 89th.
'I feel like we've had a good match plan and we've executed a lot of good things but he's so good,' Canada coach Jesse Marsch said. The match was Messi's last as a 36 year old. He turns 37 on Monday, and Argentina plays Chile the following day at East Rutherford, New Jersey.
