Well ... that didn't take very long.
Argentina forward Ezequiel Lavezzi got the scoring started in his side's Copa America Centenario semi-final clash with the United States men's national team, lobbing an unmarked header over goalkeeper Brad Guzan and into the back of the net just three minutes into the match.
The pass from Lionel Messi was a thing of beauty and Lavezzi's finish was pretty sweet, too, but his celebration was also an interesting talking point as, 22 years to the day, Diego Maradona celebrated in similar fashion.
