Copa America 2024: A goal from Lautaro in extra time makes the great Argentine champions (again)

Argentina is (again) champion of the Americas. In a very tough physical battle, and without Messi injured, this team became a historical football legend after winning the Triple Crown: Cup-World-Cup, which only Spain had achieved (Euro-World-Euro). A legend that Spain will have to face in the 2025 Finalisima.

legend has it victory after victory (Much more difficult). The legend is managing to do this without your great reference (Messi). The legend is beating Colombia who were undefeated for 28 matches. Legends is coming off their 12th consecutive elimination match win (since 2019)… This team did make history in a very close final, but in which they had one man, Lautaro, who confirmed with five goals that he is the star of this cup, Despite being substituted a lot, his goal in the 112th minute will always be remembered.

However, heThe history of this party should begin with condemnation of unfortunate incidents, Because of the poor organization of CONMEBOL, which happened before the match started and caused it to be delayed by a quarter of an hour. This cannot happen in a country that is going to host the World Cup in two years. No one has been a victim of real miracles. No one can tell us. Marca has been there.

The first part was a reflection of the tournament, Colombia played a much better game against the strong Argentinawithout missing dangerous chances, but the Colombian midfield (Richard Rios, Messi and Uribe’s follower) was outmatched. Colombia was hungry and Argentina wanted to cool the game.

Colombia They have a great team, but they don’t have Falcaosomeone to plug them in. So, 0-0-. And so it was, the score remained until half time.

After Shakira, aArgentina improved significantly in a more balanced second half. The world champion knew she knew how to take over the game and that her opportunity would come… Even if she had to do it without Messi, who, as we have said, retired in the 65th minute due to an ankle injury and Leo is crying on the bench, they will be historic.

in the 75th minute In a match not without controversy and with a lot of sportsmanship between the two teams, Nico Gonzalez’s goal was disallowed due to offside. And so, without Leo (he wasor crying on the bench with the helplessness of not playing) and without Montiel (also injured), the world champions reached the end of the match. And the extension came. Argentina came out strong in the late 90s and had chances in the first half, just like Colombia.

come The extension, now without James, wasn’t seen as much. Luis Diaz was not there for the whole game. And Lautaro came out… and you always have to rely on a good scorer. And it was 1-0… and the end

Gentlemen, this Argentine is a football legend.,
