It’s a back to back victory as Chile won the Cope America for second consecutive season!
The Chileans defeated Lionel Messi-led Argentina team to claim the title, winning 4-2 on penalties.
Arturo Vidal (Chile), Lucas Biglia (Argentina) and Lionel Messi – who’s now announced his retirement from international football – couldn’t convert a goal during the penalty shootout that decided the game.
Chile’s Marcelo Diaz was sent off 28 minute into the game for a bad foul after receiving his second yellow card. Also, Brazilian referee that officiated the game Héber Lopes made a harsh decision by showing red card to Marcos Rojo after his 43rd minute foul in front of 82,000 spectators at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey.
