Team Chile football for the second time in a row won the America’s Cup.
Chile and Argentina for the second time in a row met in the final of the Copa America, and again the destiny of the title was decided on penalties. Like a year ago, in the post-match lottery luckier Chileans who left Argentina without the long-awaited victory at the international level.
The protagonist of the final was the Brazilian referee Eber Lopez issued two dubious red cards for each side. Argentina tried to avoid another dry match in the final – the most real chance to open the scoring was Higuain, who failed to realize the tete-a-tete with Bravo. Soon the goalkeeper of FC Barcelona got a dangerous shot, but under the crossbar.
In the penalty shootout the key was the save by Bravo after hitting Billy. Silviu easily dissolved Romero and the ball at different angles. Chile again takes the America’s Cup. Messi has not scored a penalty shoot-out and announces the end of their international careers.
