World champions Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0 in Sunday's Copa América final, cementing a record 16th continental title, thanks to an extra-time game-winner from substitute Lautaro Martínez.
Plagued by security issues that marred the lead-up to the event at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, the final was initially a cagey affair that leaned towards a more proactive Colombia. During a combative first half, Argentine star Lionel Messi suffered an ankle injury, which later forced his substitution.
Despite this, Argentina held tight and maintained a 0-0 score-line by the end of the regulation 90 minutes.
