Argentina and Canada faced off in the tournament-opening match of the 2024 Copa América . On Tuesday, they'll clash once again with some heightened stakes.
Nearly three weeks after Argentina defeated Canada 2-0 en route to winning Group A, the two nations will face off again in one of Copa América's semifinal games.
Tuesday night's match will be just the third meeting between the two. Argentina won each of the first two meetings – 5-0 in a friendly in 2010 and the aforementioned 2-0 win in this tournament's group stage.
The 2022 World Cup champs are seeking their second straight Copa América trophy after winning the 2021 competition. Argentina won each match in the group stage this year before defeating Ecuador on penalties in the quarterfinals.
Canada is looking to keep its impressive run alive under American head coach Jesse Marsch. After advancing out of Group A, the team defeated Group B winners Venezuela on penalties in the quarterfinals. The nation has not won a trophy in any international soccer competition since winning the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
The winner of this semifinal will face the winner of Uruguay-Colombia in the tournament final on Sunday.
Third place game: Loser of Argentina-Canada vs. Loser of Uruguay-Colombia, 8 p.m.
Sunday, July 14
Final: Winner of Argentina-Canada vs. Winner of Uruguay-Colombia, 8 p.m.
