Argentina won the Copa America earlier today beating Columbia in the final by 1-0 margin. After 0-0 draw in the regular 90 minutes, the game went into the extra time and when only eight minutes were left, Argentina’s Lautaro Martinez found the nets and that goal was enough for them to lift the trophy. Lionel Messi was out of the field since the 66th minute after getting injured earlier in the clash.
Meanwhile, Columbia 28-match unbeaten streak in international football also ended with this loss. It was a brilliant campaign for them at the Copa America this time around but they fell short at the last hurdle with the Messi-led Argentina prevailing in thriller. The goalscorer Lautaro Martinez won the Golden Boot award for scoring five goals in the tournament while Argentina goal-keeper Emiliano Martinez won the Golden Glove award for not conceding a goal in five out of six matches.
