Although Argentina had already qualified for the quarter-finals, this victory over Peru allowed them to consolidate their position at the top and, in this way, face the second-placed team in Group B in the first knockout match. There are three possible rivals: Venezuela, Ecuador or Mexico, although the last two will face each other and are the ones with the best chances.
The one who spoke about the subject was Dibu Martínez. When asked which rival he prefers in the quarterfinals, the world champion goalkeeper had a measured reaction: “Let the best team win and we prepare for Ecuador or Mexico,” he said on TyC Sports shortly after the match against Peru.
When, where and at what time will Argentina play in the quarterfinals of the Copa América
Argentina will play its quarterfinal match on Thursday, July 4 at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, starting at 10 p.m. (Argentina time).

For the moment, second place in Group B is in the hands of Ecuador, which has three points and a goal difference of +1. But Sunday’s matches will ultimately determine whether things stay that way or whether Mexico (which also has three points, but with a difference of 0) manages to climb up and face Argentina. Venezuela, which is currently the leader, would have to lose to Mexico and be surpassed in goal difference by Ecuador or Mexico to finish second.
This Sunday’s matches will determine Argentina’s rival
- Mexico vs Ecuador, starting at 9pm (Argentina time)
- Jamaica vs Venezuela, starting at 9pm (Argentina time)
