HT | Argentina lead 1:0!

It’s been a feisty first 45’ at Estádio do Maracanã, with 21 fouls compared to 9 total shots so far – Ángel Di María got the only goal after a fantastic long ball by Rodrigo de Paul put him through on goal.

This one is still far from over!

FT | Argentina win!

Brazil pushed hard after the break, but only 1 of their 7 shots was on target as they couldn’t come near Emi Martínez despite their constant pressure.

Argentina win their record-equalling 15th Copa América, and their first one since 1993! :clap::clap:
