Angel di Maria proved the matchwinner with a superb lob, to give Argentina a slim 1-nil win over rivals Brazil in the 2021 Copa America final last night.
The win helped end Argentina’s 28-year spell since they last won the competition and Lionel Messi was named player of the tournament after his four goals in the competition.
The tournament, delayed by a year because of the coronavirus pandemic and moved from initial co-hosts Colombia and Argentina, was switched to 2019 hosts Brazil in a last-minute decision which received criticism in light of a surge in coronavirus cases in the country.
