Brazil vs Argentina: Messi's Copa America Title Dreams Shattered ¶
July 2, 2019, marked a disappointing day for Lionel Messi and his Argentina teammates as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Brazil in the Copa America.
The match, held in Belo Horizonte, saw Brazil's Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino score crucial goals in the 19th and 71st minutes, respectively, to seal the win for the hosts.
Despite Sergio Agüero's header hitting the bar in the first half and Messi's effort striking the post in the second, Argentina failed to capitalize on their chances, ultimately leaving Messi without a major title with Argentina.
This defeat marks Argentina's failure to beat Brazil in a major competitive fixture since 2005, while Brazil has now lost only twice in 42 games under coach Tite.
With the win, Brazil will head to the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro for Sunday's final against either Peru or reigning champions Chile.
Football fans took to social media to express their reactions to the match, with many expressing disappointment for Messi and his team.
