Player ratings: Martínez the hero as Argentina lifts Copa América - ESPN

World champions Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0 in Sunday's Copa América final, cementing a record 16th continental title, thanks to an extra-time game winner from substitute Lautaro Martínez.

Plagued by security issues that marred the lead-up to the event at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, the final was initially a cagey affair that leaned toward a more proactive Colombia.

During a combative first half, Argentine star Lionel Messi suffered an ankle injury, which later forced his substitution. Despite this, Argentina held tight and maintained a 0-0 scoreline by the end of the regulation 90 minutes.

Without their Inter Miami CF talisman in extra time, La Albiceleste regained momentum and a trophy via Martínez's 112th-minute goal.

One of the greatest footballers of all time, Lionel Messi is in vacation mood after helping Argentina win its third consecutive major title, the Copa America 2024. Messi, who has been instrumental to Argentina's success on the international stage in the last 3-4 years, is reportedly holidaying in Florida with his wife Antonela Roccuzzo and Inter Miami teammate Luis Suarez. Antonela shared a few pictures from the vacation on her Instagram account, where Messi's foot could be seen strapped by a heavy bandage.
