In the group stage match against Bolivia, Agüero assisted Messi and showed the Barça connection.

Brazil

Starter against Ecuador in the last game of the group stage, Emerson also enjoyed minutes to the grand final, where the coach Tite made him jump into the field to play the last quarter of an hour and try to come back against Argentina. Throughout the championship, Emerson averaged more than 85% passing success, in addition to eight recoveries and 12 games won.
