Argentina won its 16th Copa America title on Sunday after substitute Lautaro Martinez scored in extra time to beat Colombia 1-0 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida. According to Reuters, Inter Milan striker Martinez, the tournament’s top scorer, grabbed onto Giovani Lo Celso’s exquisite through ball and lifted his shot past Colombia goalkeeper Camilo Vargas in the 112th minute.
Argentina’s newest success follows their 2022 World Cup and 2021 Copa America victories and gives eight-times Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi the perfect sendoff in his likely final international competition. After thousands of unticketed spectators broke security gates two hours before the game, the game was delayed by over an hour. He had a swollen right foot following an ankle injury.
This triumph gives Argentina its third major international trophy in three years, following the Qatar World Cup in 2022 and the Copa America in 2021. In the 64th minute, Argentina’s top player, Messi, 37, fell to the pitch while trying to run and signalled for trainers with a knee injury. After removing his right cleat and captain band, Messi slowly staggered to the Argentine bench and cried. Colombia lost its 28-game unbeaten streak. The last two matches versus Argentina were losses.
