The 2024 Copa America final took place with a tense and fierce match, with no goals scored in the first half.

In the second half, the game was tight and had a similar scenario to the first half. In the 64th minute, Messi was lying on the field after being marked but not affected by Luis Diaz. Perhaps El Pulga had a relapse of his right ankle injury from the end of the first half. He was taken off by coach Lionel Scaloni to make way for Nicolas Gonzalez.

Messi could not hold back his tears when leaving the field.

After 90 minutes, the two teams left the field and no goals were scored. With this result, Argentina and Colombia were forced to enter 2 extra periods to determine the winner in the final match.

In the 112th minute, with good coordination between the two substitute players, Lo Celso passed the ball just in time for Lautaro Martinez to run up, he finished by defeating goalkeeper Camilo Vargas in a face-to-face situation, opening the score for Argentina.

Lautaro Martinez’s goal was also the only goal and it helped Argentina beat Colombia with a minimal score to win the Copa America.
