(VIDEO) Copa América 2024 Highlights: Argentina vs Colombia
Argentina secured their second consecutive Copa America title on Sunday with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Colombia at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium. This triumph marks Argentina's record-extending sixteenth Copa America trophy.
The Albiceleste, missing Lionel Messi due to injury after he limped off in the 65th minute chasing Colombian player Luis Díaz, found resilience in Inter Milan's Lautaro Martínez. Martínez's decisive goal in the 112th minute secured not only Argentina's victory but also earned him the tournament's top scorer accolade with five goals.
Despite Colombia's spirited performance, playing without James Rodríguez who was replaced by Juan Fernando Quintero in extra time, Argentina held on to their lead, capping off a dramatic final.
