Argentina won its 16th Copa America title on Sunday night at Florida’s Hard Rock Stadium, beating Colombia 1-0, with striker Lautaro Martinez scoring the winning goal in the 112th minute.

In a match that started 1 hour and 22 minutes late because of security and crowd issues, Argentina won its third straight major title following the 2021 Copa America and 2022 World Cup.

Tears preceded the celebrations, though, as Argentina captain Lionel Messi was injured in the 66th minute and spent the rest of the match on the bench, while winger Angel Di Maria had an emotional farewell in his last game for the national team.

A night of joy for Argentina was a night of disappointment for Colombia, who had won their only title in the 2001 Copa America and were unbeaten in 28 matches leading up to Sunday’s final.
