Copa America 2019, Argentina vs Qatar: Hits and Flops

#2 Sergio Aguero- Hit

Qatar v Argentina: Group B - Copa America Brazil 2019

Sergio Aguero, last night showed why he is known to be one of the best strikers in the world. The Manchester City ace kept the opposition busy throughout the night as he attempted 6 shots off which one went on to become Argentina's second of the night.

Although the striker was not much involved in the buildup, he caused all kinds of trouble for the Qatari defense. He set up 3 chances, had 2 successful dribbles, won 5 duels and made 1 recovery. The 31-year-old put in a massive shift last night.

Aguero scored in the 82nd minute of the game through Paulo Dybala's pass as he dribbled past a couple of players before slotting it near the far post to put the game beyond all doubts and seal a quarter final clash with Venezuela.
