Manchester United defender creates history with crucial goal in Argentina’s victory against Ecuador

In a tense first half of their Copa America 2024 quarterfinal against Ecuador, Argentina broke the deadlock. Despite their potent offense, a defender put them ahead.

Manchester United’s Lisandro Martínez scored from a corner kick, giving Argentina a 1-0 lead. Ecuador had managed to keep the game scoreless until then, but their inability to defend the set piece allowed Argentina to take the lead.

Additionally, the Red Devils defender made a little history, finding the back of the net in the first 45 minutes.
