Lisandro Martinez impresses as Argentina falls to Colombia – Man United News And Transfer Update

Lisandro Martinez puts in strong performance at left-back despite Argentina's loss to Colombia - Man United News And Transfer News



Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez gave a glowing account of himself even as Argentina slipped to a 2-1 loss at the hands of Colombia on Tuesday night.

Colombia beat Argentina 2-1 at the Roberto Melendez Metropolitan Stadium, courtesy of goals from Yerson Mosquera and James Rodriguez.

The home side took the lead in the 25th minute when Rodriguez floated a cross to the far post, which Mosquera dutifully connected with to send home.

Argentina – who lacked in attack in the absence of their captain Lionel Messi – responded immediately after the break as Nico Gonzalez danced past the Colombia defence to guide the ball into the back of the net, through the goalkeeper’s legs.

At the hour mark, Rodriguez converted from the spot-kick after Colombia were awarded a penalty.

In yet another match, Martinez was deployed in a relatively unfamiliar left-back position by Lionel Scaloni and the United No.6 did not disappoint, despite his side’s loss.

Martinez was on the pitch for 64 minutes before he was taken off and replaced by Marcos Acuna.

During the time he was on the pitch, Martinez made one tackle, which was a last-man challenge that kept Colombia from breaching Emi Martinez’s goal.

The World Cup winner delved into four ground duels, winning three of them. He was required to contest one challenge in the air and he came out on top.

He was solid at left-back and his side of the pitch was undoubtedly more secure than the opposite flank. He could have got on the score sheet at the end of the opening 45 minutes when he was presented with a good chance to score but he sent the opportunity begging.

For Martinez, all attention now shifts to United and the club’s upcoming Premier League match against Southampton.
