In particular, the final of the Copa America series started today at 6.45 am indian time. The match between argentina and colombia was held at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida, USA. Today's match was eagerly awaited by the fans of the country and football fans as a whole as this is most likely the last international series for Argentina's star player Lionel Messi.

But from the start of the match, both teams clashed evenly. The tackling from both teams was excellent, but neither team managed to score a single goal. That's why both teams made sure that the ball didn't go to the goal side. Although there were few opportunities, both teams failed to convert them into goals. As a result, both teams failed to score not only in the first half but also in the entire 90 minutes. Earlier, Lionel Messi was unable to contribute well in today's match as he suffered from pain due to a leg injury. He left the field in the 64th minute of the game due to a leg injury. Lionel Messi cried over his injury and his inability to continue to contribute. As Messi sat crying outside the field, thousands of argentina supporters in the stadium chanted in support of him and consoled him and the team.

90 minutes followed by 30 minutes of extra time. The first 15 minutes and the second 15 minutes of the match were held in two rounds. No goal was scored till the 105th minute. After a short break, argentina started the second half of extra time with a sudden change to start the action. With three players out and three new substitutes on the field, action began to show towards the goal.

This strategy paid off. Lautaro Martinez made the most of Giovani Lo Celso's assist and scored in the 112th minute to give the Argentine fans and a tearful Lionel Messi the ultimate gift. The stadium itself was in a flood of joy. Tears disappear from Messi's eyes and his face is full of joy, and the world seems to be celebrating the moment. The 8 minutes after that goal, argentina defended well and prevented colombia from scoring and ensured their victory. Perhaps if no goal was scored the match would have gone to a penalty shoot-out to decide the outcome of the match. But not to be outdone, Lautaro Martínez scored the winning goal in extra time to seal the 2024 Copa America title for Argentina.

In particular, argentina has set a record by winning the Copa America series for the 16th time. argentina has overtaken uruguay to become the team that has won the most Copa America series. uruguay have won 15 times. While the last time argentina won the Copa America series was in 2021, they have now retained the championship consecutively. 2021 Copa América, 2022 FIFA World Cup, and 2024 Copa América, argentina has been accumulating trophies consecutively. argentina has now equaled Spain's record of winning consecutive trophies from 2008 to 2012.
