Argentina have won their first major football trophy since 1993.
They have beaten defending champions Brazil 1-0 in the Copa America final.
Angel Di Maria scored the only goal of the game in the 22nd minute.
The win also means 34-year-old player Lionel Messi has finally won an international title with his country.
There was widespread criticism of the decision to allow Brazil to stage the monthlong event because of its high numbers of coronavirus cases.

Excuse me to say but in this game Messi disappeared, missed unbelievable opportunities to score. He should be replace from the beginning. I am his fan but he did not play well.
Ofcourse Brazilians will be salty it's expected!
2:59 ¨some people here did not even now that the final game was being played today¨. WOW! I cant believe this woman was able to tell such an obvious lie in live TV and get away with it!! Anyone who has been to Brazil knows that cannot be true. I am shocked… is this woman a journalist??
Congres arg??❤
I love how Brazilians care when they win and don’t care when they lose.
The governor from Rio de Janeiro was giving free tickets to people to attend the game. Argentina and Brazil have been rivals in soccer for so long, but you hardly saw any Brazilians in their own country in that stadium… Interesting… I guess maybe, it wasn't such an important game for them as much? What did Messi really do? He wasn't even the player that scored the only point they had! ? But I guess, messi 'deserved" to have a trophy. ? But I don't appreciate the racist comments, that people from Argentina are making against the Brazilians just because of this one little game they won!! Meanwhile Brazilians are congratulating Messi for this win….
Brazil is best successful team in this would
Vamos brazil ?? Love From Bangladesh ??
Congratulations Argentina ❤????⚽
YES….YES…YES… ❤️??????????????❤️????
Beat with a paid referee.
Everybody please get vaccinated!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish everybody got vaccinated so this deadly covid-19 can go away.
Why did they have the Copa America in Brazil? Covid-19 is worse in Brazil.
Copa America should not have taken place in Brazil. Covid-19 is very bad in Brazil.
They won it for Diego, who was killed by a medicin man, Bamos Argentina ?
But we Miss Legend During this celebration Diego maradona ?
There goes the media again; yes some people had an issue with the tournament being held in Brazil, but to say that Brazilian weren't interested is disingenuous, if Brazil had won you would have seen a different reaction.
??❤️??
what was the scoreline? 1:0
Argentina won copa america because of good defence. Yes, attacking players played their part, but their defence was the best compared to other teams.
VAMOS ARGENTINAAAA PAPAAAAAA
Covid: "I'm the real winner"
Messi 1 – 0 Bolsonaro
❤❤??
VAMOS ARGENTINA!!! ???????? WE THE ARGENTINIANS ARE THRILLED
