Hosts Chile ended a 99-year wait to win the Copa America, a football fiesta played by the South American nations, on Saturday, beating pre-tournament favourites, Argentina 4-2 on penalty.
The highly exciting final had ended in 120 minutes without a goal to separate the two teams.
In the penalty shootout, only Lionel Messi converted his kick among the three Argentines that tried from the spot while Chile converted their four kicks, with Arsenal striker Sanchez, converting the Chileans fourth penalty with a cheeky kick to wrap up victory for the hosts. Agency report
