Venezuela wins

On Saturday morning, the America's Cup ushered in the semi-finals. Venezuela, the leader in Group B, will face Canada, second in Group A. Venezuela has made great progress in recent years. It even won a complete victory in the group stage this year. It is comparable to World Cup champion Argentina. Venezuela is guaranteed to win the semi-finals today.

 

Among the highlights of this America's Cup, dark horse Venezuela is definitely one of them. As a South American country that has never entered the World Cup finals, they miraculously won 3 games in this group stage, and like Argentina and Uruguay, they have a strong momentum. In these 3 group matches, Venezuela completed two clean sheets against Mexico and Jamaica, conceding only 1 goal in 3 games. The team has done a lot of work on the defensive end. What is even more surprising is that Venezuela was able to score 2 goals per game in the group stage, and its offensive firepower surpassed that of Argentina. Among them, top attacker Salovan Langton scored 2 goals in 3 group matches, and he was elected the best player in all 3 games. He is indeed an important player in the game. Jinpu clashed with Canada, which barely qualified, and Venezuela went one step further with a powerful victory. In terms of the lineup, forward Dayon Matjes accumulated enough yellow cards and was suspended.

This is the first time Canada has participated in the America's Cup. With a group stage record of 1 win, 1 loss and 1 loss, they defeated two-time champions Chile and Peru to qualify for second place and advance to the semi-finals. Canada has obviously achieved an important achievement by advancing to the semi-finals for the first time. Compared with the top names in the other groups, Venezuela is obviously a "relatively weak" team, but as the saying goes that there are no weak teams in South America, Canada really has no reason to underestimate their ability. Looking back on the performance in the group stage, Canada only scored one goal in three games against bottom-placed Peru, and the team only scored in one of the last five games. Its offensive efficiency is quite poor. Facing Venezuela, which combines offense and defense this time, Canada can be sure of losing. In terms of lineup, forward Dazhuang Boucharan is absent due to injury.
