Tuesday night's Group A encounter between Lionel Messi and Argentina and Chile marks the return of Copa America to MetLife Stadium.
In the 2016 Copa America Final, which was also staged in East Rutherford in front of 82,026 spectators, Chile defeated Messi and company, 4-2 on penalties, reigniting a harsh and terrible rivalry between these two South American neighbours.
Here is everything you need to know about Tuesday night's game, a closer look at the recent history between these two clubs, and more for Argentina vs. Chile at MetLife, since both sides have already played one match in this year's tournament:

Argentina vs Chile soccer history prior to Copa America 2024
With three draws in the last five encounters, the game is very evenly matched going into Tuesday's encounter. The only anomalies are Argentina's several one-goal victories, including their 2-1 victory over Chile on January 27, 2022, in Calama, Chile, during a FIFA World Cup qualifying match.
Three years earlier, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Argentina defeated Chile 2-1 to secure third place in the 2019 Copa America Tournament.
Since a 0-0 tie in an international friendly at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on September 5, 2019, this will be the first time these two countries have faced off on American territory.
Chile's only previous victory over Argentina came in the 2016 Copa America; prior to Tuesday night's game, they had a 0-3-3 record in their previous six meetings.
