In a tightly contested match, Argentina ultimately defeated Canada 2-0 in their opening game of the 2024 Copa America. The world champions dominated much of the match, although Canada held their ground and had several opportunities. Argentina needed a goal to secure their victory.

During the game, Moisë Bombito fouled Lionel Messi, and as the match concluded, the Colorado Rapids defender began receiving a barrage of insults and racial messages on his social media accounts.

After the match, Moisë Bombito posted a story on Instagram to demonstrate that the hateful words from some individuals did not affect him. Nevertheless, the Canadian Soccer Federation remains resolute.

Canada remains winless under their new manager Jesse Marsch and will seek their first victory and points in the Copa America against Peru on June 25th. A defeat would eliminate Canada from the tournament.
