“We’re going to enjoy ourselves,” Chile coach Juan Antonio Pizzi said, before talking of his pride in his players. The second half provided more of the same and although Chile, who have never beaten Argentina in open play in 26 previous Copa America encounters, at least managed to call Romero into action, neither side created any clear cut chances. Lionel Messi blasted a penalty over the bar in what looks like being his last act in international football as Chile beat Argentina in a shootout to win the Copa America for the second year in a row on Sunday. The 30 minutes of extra time was not much different, although Vargas came close for Chile and substitute Sergio Aguero had a header tipped over by Bravo. Three others were booked, including Messi for diving, in a first half that had as many cards as shots on goal.
