Lionel Messi finally scored his 1st 2024 Copa América goal for Argentina and it was fantastic

Soccer superstar Lionel Messi finally got on the board for this summer’s Copa América on Tuesday night for Argentina on a beautiful goal.

As Argentina faced off in the semifinals against a red-hot Canada team, Messi found the perfect lane to boot the ball in from a fair distance from the net.

It’s Messi’s first goal in the tournament, making this yet another edition of the Copa América where one of the greatest soccer players of all time registered a goal.

While we’re not sure if this is Messi’s last run with Argentina in the Copa América, we’re sure this excellent goal to give the team a 2-0 lead will be a special one for Messi and Argentina fans.
