Argentina win Copa America in Miami

Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0 in the Copa America 2024 final in Miami.

The match was a tight contest, with neither team scoring during normal time.

Lionel Messi was taken off injured in the second half.

However, Lautaro Martinez came to Argentina’s rescue, scoring with eight minutes remaining on the clock and avoiding a penalty shoot-out.

Argentina, who were the defending champions of the tournament as well as World Cup winners in 2022, were the favorites of the tournament and were never in a losing position throughout the competition. They have also won the first edition of the Finalissima, defeating Italy.
