Argentina Wins Record 16th Copa America Title

Messi Injured, Martinez Scores Winner in Extra Time

Chaos Marred Final in Miami

Argentina has won a record 16th Copa America title after beating Colombia 1-0 in a match marred by crowd chaos.

The final, which was played in Miami, was delayed for over an hour after chaotic and dangerous scenes saw fans breaking through security barriers and invading the pitch.

Once the match got underway, Argentina took the lead through Lautaro Martinez in extra time.

Lionel Messi, who was substituted off with an injury, was still named the tournament's best player.

The victory is Argentina's first Copa America title since 1993, and it is the country's first major international trophy since the 1986 World Cup.
