Chile square off against reigning champions Argentina in their second match of the Copa America 2024 tournament. This clash will be very crucial for their survival in the competition as a loss here can make things tricky for them.

Chile played Peru in the opening match which they eventually drew with the score remaining goalless. Despite being the superior side in the match, their shooting let them down as they couldn’t make the chances count. 

Argentina, despite the early scare from Canada, managed to win the match comfortably. Goals from Julián Álvarez and Lautaro Martínez ensured that the reigning champions started the competition on a winning note.
