Messi suffer Copa defeat again as Chile wins Copa America
« on: July 05, 2015, 09:15:45 AM »


Chile secured the first major trophy in their history on home soil courtesy of a penalty shootout win over Argentina in the Copa America final.

Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez slotted in the winning spot-kick after Argentina's Gonzalo Higuain fired over and Ever Banega was denied by Claudio Bravo.

Higuain had earlier missed from close range after 90 minutes of few chances.

Sanchez came closest in extra time for Chile, who scored all four of their penalties in the shootout.

Where Chile held their nerve, Argentina wilted in the shootout at the end of a performance that fell well short of the heights they reached in their 6-1 semi-final win over Paraguay.
