Argentina Defended their Title by Beating Colombia 1-0 in Extra Time

Argentina has won a record 16th Copa America title by beating Colombia 1-0 after extra time in a match that ended late Tuesday night in So Paulo, Brazil. The match was a rematch of the 2021 final, which Argentina also won 1-0. Argentina's win gives them their third Copa America title in the last four years.

The match was a close affair, with both teams having chances to win. Colombia had the better of the chances in the first half, but Argentina came out stronger in the second half and had the better chances in extra time.

The winning goal came in the 109th minute, when Lionel Messi played a perfect pass to Angel Di Maria, who slotted the ball home. It was Di Maria's fifth goal of the tournament, and it proved to be the winning goal.

Argentina's win is a testament to the team's quality and their ability to win big matches. They have now won three of the last four Copa America titles, and they are the clear favorites to win the 2025 tournament in Chile.

Colombia can be proud of their performance in the final. They played well and had their chances to win the match. But in the end, Argentina's quality proved to be too much.
