Argentina Crushes Chile, Goes for Gold in CP Football

The albicelestes clearly defeated the Roja in Santiago 2023.

Thursday, November 23rd, 2023.- Argentina secured a solid 5-0 victory against Chile, earning a spot in the CP Football final at the 2023 Parapan American Games. Mariano Morana's powerful shot at the 5-minute mark left goalkeeper García with no chance. Despite Chile's efforts, buoyed by the almost 2,000 people in the stands, Morana scored again at 12 minutes, capitalizing on Bautista Suárez's excellent run and cross with a flawless header for a 2-0 lead. 

Chile's second-half vigor was subdued at the 32nd minute by Matías Fernández, while Bassi increased the score twice. From then on, the visitors began rotating the ball and conserving physical energy by making several changes. 

Argentina's tactical and physical superiority was never matched by the national team's determination and effort. 

Argentina will play in the final against Brazil, while Chile will face Canada to avoid finishing last in Football PC.
