    Lautaro Martínez scored the winning goal as Messi was benched during the overtime due to an ankle injury sustained during the match.

    The final match of the Copa América tournament was held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

    The match's start time was pushed back by nearly an hour and a half as, per a statement posted to the venue's X account , "there were numerous attempts by unruly fans without tickets to overpower security and law enforcement personnel at entry points."

    Shakira performed during the match's halftime, performing "Hips Don't Lie" and some of her other big hits.
