With only a matter of seconds of entering the pitch, Correa scored with a powerful strike and was more dangerous than Vietto, who after a promising preseason, looks out of sorts with his new teammates. With performances such as yesterday, the Argentine would have given Simeone a real headache surrunding selection between the two, with the Argentine looking exceptional when given a chance.
