Copa America 2024 Top Scorers: Who Leads The Golden Boot Race?

Copa America 2024 commenced on Thursday, June 20 as holders Argentina took on Canada. It wasn’t the most convincing performance from La Albiceleste but they managed to pull off a 2-0 win to start their campaign.

Argentina have had the perfect start to their title defense, which they won in Brazil at Copa America 2021. They will hope to carry this momentum and lift the trophy again.

The second match at Copa America 2024 saw Peru play out a goalless draw against Chile. Both sides created multiple opportunities but failed to open the scoring and shared the points.

The next set of fixtures will see Ecuador take on Venezuela while Mexico will take on Jamaica, both in Group B.
