Argentina and Canada are set to clash once again in the semi-finals of the Copa America at MetLife Stadium, marking a rematch of their opening game at the tournament.

Both teams reached this stage after tense penalty shootouts in the quarter-finals, where Argentina defeated Ecuador and Canada overcame Venezuela.

Argentina, also known as La Albiceleste, have a strong history in the Copa America and are looking to defend their title from the previous edition.

The winner of this semi-final will proceed to face either Colombia or Uruguay in the final at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on July 14.

Emiliano Martínez and Nicolás Otamendi played crucial roles for Argentina in their quarter-final victory, with Martínez saving penalties and Otamendi scoring the winning spot-kick.

Canada, managed by Jesse Marsch, have surprised many by reaching the semi-finals in their debut appearance in the Copa America.

This fixture presents a historic opportunity for Canada, who previously tasted success in penalty shootouts against Venezuela to reach this stage.

The Canadians have put up a resilient defense, conceding only one goal in their last three matches after a tough start to the tournament.
