ARGENTINA WIN COPA AMERICA AFTER BEATING COLOMBIA

Argentina won a record 16th Copa America title by beating Colombia 1-0 thanks to an extra-time goal from Lautaro Martinez. La Albiceleste's latest title comes on the back of their triumphs at the 2022 World Cup and 2021 Copa America.

The victory gives eight-times Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi the perfect sendoff in what is likely his last international tournament. The win, which saw Argentina move ahead of Uruguay after the pair had been tied on 15 Copa titles, marked Angel di Maria's final international match.

Martinez, who came off the bench in extra time, latched onto a precise through ball from Giovani Lo Celso before lifting his effort over advancing Colombia goalkeeper Camilo Vargas in the 112th minute to spark wild celebrations at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida.

The defeat ended a Colombian record 28-match unbeaten streak for Nestor Lorenzo's side, whose last loss also came against 'La Albiceleste' in February 2022. Colombia captain James Rodriguez was named player of the tournament after notching six assists to break Messi's record of five in a single edition of the Copa America.
