    Argentina vs Colombia – Copa America final 2024: Martinez spares Messi tears to lift trophy after fan chaos

    LAUTARO MARTINEZ’S extra-time winner has fired Argentina to a second successive Copa America creating history in Miami!

    The Inter Milan striker leaped off the bench to rifle home in the 112th minute as Lionel Scaloni’s side became the first South American team to win three consecutive trophies.

    Winning the Copa in 2021, and then the World Cup a year later set Scaloni up for success and this win, amid a backdrop of shameful scenes outside Hard Rock Stadium before kick-off, sealed the deal for the Albiceleste.

    Lionel Messi was forced off in the second half with a badly swollen ankle in a game which was delayed for around 80 minutes after ticketless fans stormed into the stadium ahead of the start.
