Hosts Chile ended a 99-year wait to win
the Copa America, a football fiesta played by the South American
nations, on Saturday, beating pre-tournament favourites, Argentina 4-2
on penalty.
The highly exciting final had ended in 120 minutes without a goal to separate the two teams.
In the penalty shootout, only Lionel
Messi converted his kick among the three Argentines that tried from the
spot while Chile converted their four kicks, with Arsenal striker
Sanchez, converting the Chileans fourth penalty with a cheeky kick to
wrap up victory for the hosts.
