Argentina's Victory Path in the Semifinals
Argentina had started the path to victory in the semifinals, they were seen loose and easily overflowing through the left wing. With the result in favor of the Argentine team, it could be said that Ezequiel Lavezzi was heading to the final and even as a starter despite Ángel di María's recovery for Sunday's match.
However, a fall defined the fate of 'Pocho' in the Copa America. After falling from one of the billboards, Lavezzi was lying on the field -in the match against the United States- due to a fracture in his left arm. Of course, the organization did not intend to capture a close-up of the forward's injury, but a user of the Snapchat account was able to capture it and upload it to the mentioned social network.
Ezequiel Lavezzi will have to undergo surgery in the next few days and will miss Sunday's final. Meanwhile, the forward is still in the concentration with his teammates, with the joy that has always overwhelmed him. A journalist asked him about his arm, to which he responded, "broken."
Another Argentine player who will miss the final on Sunday is Augusto Fernández. Those are the only two absences from Gerardo Martino's team.
