MIAMI – Lautaro Martinez scored the extra-time winner as defending champions Argentina defeated Colombia 1-0 to win a record 16th Copa America crown here Sunday (Monday Manila time).

Inter Milan forward Martinez blasted home a 112th-minute strike to settle a dour encounter at the Hard Rock Stadium that saw Argentina captain Lionel Messi exit in tears during the second half after suffering an ankle injury.

Kick-off for the South American football showpiece was delayed by 82 minutes after crowd trouble before the game blamed on unruly unticketed fans.
