Argentina has etched its name further into football history by clinching a record-breaking 16th Copa America title. The Albiceleste secured the victory with a hard-fought 1-0 extra-time win over Colombia at the Hard Rock Stadium. The match was marred by significant crowd disturbances, leading to a delay of over an hour before kickoff. Despite the chaotic build-up, Argentina managed to maintain their composure and find the decisive goal through Lautaro Martinez in the 112th minute. Martinez, who finished the tournament as the top scorer with five goals, converted a pass from Giovani Lo Celso to seal the win for his nation.
The triumph marks Argentina’s third consecutive major tournament victory following their 2021 Copa America and 2022 World Cup triumphs. However, the celebration was tempered by the injury-forced departure of Lionel Messi in the second half. The Argentine captain, visibly distraught, watched the remainder of the match from the bench. Also, Angel Di Maria, a key figure in Argentina’s recent successes, played his final game for the national team, bringing an emotional end to his international career.
