In the final of Copa America, Argentina and Chile were found goalless after 120 minutes of play, which pushed the game to penalties. Though the match was a golden one for Chile, it put a full stop on Argentinian captain Lionel Messi’s football career. Last year, Chile won the 2015 Copa América qualifier for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and now with a second victory against a team led by the world’s best footballer makes it the best team in the western hemisphere.
