Argentina vs Colombia Final AS IT HAPPENED, Copa America 2024 Final: Argentina secured its second consecutive Copa America title, triumphing 1-0 over Colombia despite Lionel Messi’s second-half leg injury. Lautaro Martínez clinched the victory with a goal in the 112th minute. In a match delayed by 1 hour and 20 minutes due to crowd disturbances at Hard Rock Stadium, Argentina clinched its third consecutive major title, following the 2021 Copa America and the 2022 World Cup, equaling Spain’s feat of winning the 2008 and 2012 European Championships along with the 2010 World Cup. Argentina also ended Colombia’s 28-game unbeaten streak, which had stretched back to a February 2022 loss to the Albiceleste. Martínez came in the 97th minute, scored from Giovani Lo Celso’s precise through pass. Just inside the penalty area, the Inter Milan striker sent a right-footed shot past the outstretched arms of sliding goalkeeper Camilo Vargas, marking his 29th international goal and his tournament-leading fifth.
