Lautaro-Messi show, overwhelming Argentina: 3-0 with Honduras

The albiceleste easily spreads the Central Americans with the 21st center of Toro (on the field only 45 ‘) and a brace from Pulce. Also on the field Paredes, Di Maria at rest

A full blown performance, at least for the first 45 ‘of play. This is the one attended last night by the almost 60 thousand spectators of the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where Messi’s Argentina overwhelmed Honduras to the rhythm of goals (three) and played with applause. It ended 3-0. What for Seleccion was little more than a training session was used to relaunch Lautaro after almost a month of fasting in the goal area, but he underlined once more the extraordinary leadership exercised by the Pulce within a group that travels to sails unfurled, thanks to an unbeaten run that has lasted for 34 games. In addition to Toro, substituted after the first half, Juventus Paredes (for 64 ‘) and the “Friulian” Perez, who made his debut in the final half hour, are also on the field. Next test for Argentina in the night between Tuesday and Wednesday against Jamaica.

No particular experiment by the coach Scaloni despite the hints of the eve: the form remains the 4-3-3, with some small variations. For example, there is no Di Maria, kept at rest, on the other hand there is a Papu Gomez in the evening of grace, which turns out to be Messi’s best partner from the very beginning. It is on that axis that Seleccion builds the advantage at 16 ‘, the result of a rapacious paw by Lautaro in the center of the area. After that it is pure show, with a penalty from the Pulce (inspired by one of his own filtering passes) and a remote-controlled 20-meter lob that closes the game in the 69th minute. Before the final 3-0, Argentina wasted at least four clear chances to widen the gap, then put the game to sleep in the second half without harming their rivals too much.

Good performance by Toro, who scores for the fourth consecutive game (ten centers in the last 14 outings in the national team), misses little or nothing, moves non-stop and also avoids excessive waste of energy thanks to the change with Alvarez at the beginning of the second half. . Twenty minutes more on the legs instead for Paredes, good at dictating the times and sorting the balls in the 64 ‘in which he remains on the field before giving way to the rookie Fernandez (author of the assist for the third Albiceleste goal). A special evening also for Nehuen Perez, who repays Scaloni’s confidence with a piece of the match without flaws.
