Alvarez, preferred to Lautaro as Messi’s strike partner in attack, had the first opportunity when he charged down an attempted clearance from Ismael Kone and broke away.But the Manchester City striker took a heavy touch as he bore down on Canada keeper Max Crepeau, who was able to smother the ball. The first true save of the game came in the 40th minute, though, when Alexis Mac Allister’s stooping header from an Angel Di Maria cross was well dealt with by Crepeau.
Within moments, there was another chance for Alvarez, but this time denied by the diving Crepeau and Canada could live to fight on. But they were almost caught out with a classic counter-attack as Martinez launched a quick long ball towards Messi, who broke way goalwards but with the crowd expecting to see the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner on target he made a hash of the chance.
