In Germany, the Confederations Cup continues. After playing the matches of the second round in Group A, the first two participants of the semi-finals became clear. The host of the tournament Germany and the representative of South America Argentina became them.
In the first match of the evening, Germany proved its superiority over Tunisia, defeating the Africans with a seemingly overwhelming score of 3-0 in the last 15 minutes. Despite that, Tunisia, who performed quite well in the match but has not yet secured any points, leaves a good impression in the tournament.
The Argentine national team, winning their second match, also secured their place among the four strongest teams in the tournament. Today, after a quite intense battle, the Argentinians defeated Australia 4-2. By the way, the Australians stand out in the tournament with a weak defense - in two matches, the representatives from the country of kangaroos have already conceded 8 goals, and managed to defeat the opponents' goalkeepers 5 times.
In these matches, the Argentine Luciano Figueroa stood out, scoring as many as 3 goals and performing a so-called "hattrick".
