Argentina won their record 16th Copa America title by defeating Colombia 1-0 in extra time. Lautaro Martínez scored the winning goal in the 112th minute, securing Argentina’s second consecutive Copa America victory.
The match was delayed by 1 hour and 20 minutes due to crowd disturbances at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Despite Lionel Messi’s second-half injury, Argentina’s resilience and Martínez’s fifth goal of the tournament led to their historic triumph.
