Ángel di María won the man of the match award for his performance in Argentina's 1-0 win over Jamaica, the first time so far at the Copa América than someone other than Leo Messi has been elected for the Albiceleste. The Manchester United midfielder was in electric form and rattled the crossbar in the second half as well as assisting Gonzalo Higuaín's goal.

Despite having a low-key season at Old Trafford, Argentina coach Gerardo Martino has placed his faith in Di María to operate in the wide left position that suits his qualities. The former Real Madrid player has responded well to the trust shown in him and was at his impish best against Jamaica. The next game Argentina play will be for a place in the semi-finals, with the opposition yet to be determined. That game will be played in Viña del Mar, as the Jamaica match was.
