1-0 win over Colombia… 2nd consecutive loss in tournament
39G Most Appearances Record Argentina Messi
Shedding tears due to injury replacement ‘smiling broadly’
Argentina, ranked first in the FIFA rankings, has won the 2024 Copa America (South American Football Championship) for the second time in a row, becoming the country with the most wins (16 times) in the tournament. Argentina won the tournament by defeating Colombia, ranked 12th in the FIFA rankings, 1-0 in overtime in the final match held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, USA on the 15th. Argentina’s Lautaro Martinez (27) scored the winning goal in the 7th minute of the second half of overtime.
Argentina has won three consecutive major tournaments, following the 2021 Copa America and the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup. They have also surpassed Uruguay (15) to become the sole winner of the tournament with the most wins. Martinez, the scorer of the winning goal, was the tournament’s top scorer with five goals. Although they missed out on the title, Colombian James Rodriguez (33) was named the tournament’s MVP with one goal and six assists.
Argentina captain Lionel Messi (37), who set a new record for the most appearances in a tournament (39 games), was substituted in the 21st minute of the second half due to pain in his right ankle and shed tears. This is the first time Messi has been substituted in a final match wearing an Argentina uniform. This tournament is expected to be Messi’s last major tournament as a national team player. The start time of the game was delayed by nearly 1 hour and 20 minutes as thousands of fans who failed to get tickets attempted to enter without permission.
