Copa America 2019: Argentina 0-2 Brazil - Hits and Flops

#3 Hit: Roberto Firmino

Brazil v Argentina: Semi Final - Copa America Brazil 2019

Firmino played a pivotal role for Liverpool in their Champions League triumph and he showed his attacking prowess against Argentina at the Belo Horizonte. The striker was at his absolute best, providing one assist and scoring another against their arch-rivals to help his team into the finals.

Deployed as a second striker, Firmino quickly made his presence known by stringing a few passes together initially. Tite made the right decision to use the Liverpool star's ability to link-up with his teammates and it goes without saying that Firmino is forming a deadly partnership with Jesus upfront.

Firmino was a constant thorn in the life of Argentine defenders with his constant movements and link-up play. The Brazilian latched onto Dani Alves' pass before picking out Jesus with a tasty low cross, which eventually led to the opener.

A sensational run from his partner-in-crime opened up their opponent's defense late in the match and the Manchester City man was quick to find Firmino, who did the rest.
