Chile wins Copa America on PKs; cruel deja vu for Messi, Argentina

It must feel like Deja Vu for Argentina as they lose a heartbreaker to Chile in the Copa America final on penalty kicks for the second straight year.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Chile won the Copa América Centenario in a 4-2 penalty shootout after a 0-0 tie on Sunday. It’s the second Copa América title in Chile’s history and the second in two years.

Once again, favored Argentina failed to win a major trophy for the first time since 1993. The Albiceleste has now lost three straight finals, including the World Cup final in 2014 and the last two Copa América finals on penalties to Chile.
