Chile retained the Copa America with a 4-2 victory over Argentina on penalties as the sides drew 0-0 after extra time at MetLife Stadium.
In a repeat final of last year when Chile also won on spot kicks both teams finished with 10 men in a bad-tempered clash as Argentina’s Marcos Rojo and Chile’s Marcelo Diaz saw red in the first half.
Lionel Messi and Lucas Biglia missed penalties for Argentina in the shootout to hand Chile their second Copa title and La Albiceleste have now gone 23 years without a major title.
