Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0 in the Copa America final, with Lautaro Martinez scoring in extra time (111th minute). Lionel Messi, potentially playing his last international tournament, was substituted in the 64th minute due to an ankle injury sustained in the 36th minute. The match was delayed by 82 minutes due to crowd trouble. Argentina's victory marks their 16th Copa America title, a record. The win follows their 2022 World Cup and 2021 Copa America triumphs, culminating in a successful era for the team and potentially Messi's international career.
