Author of the only goal of the final against Brazil, Angel Di Maria allowed Lionel Messi’s Argentina to win the 2021 Copa América.
The Albiceleste is at the top. Tonight, Argentina won the 2021 Copa América, in the final against Brazil, at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. The selection in the blue and white tunic was imposed on the smallest of the margins, thanks to a goal scored in the first period. Score final : 1-0.
Only one man managed to find the loophole, in the person of Angel Di Maria. The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder opened the scoring in the 22nd minute of play, with a superb opening of Rodrigo De Paul (Udinese). Despite its dominance in terms of ball possession (60%), the Seleçao never managed to come back to the score.

This is the first time Argentina has won the Copa América since 1993, after failing in the final in 2004, 2007, 2015 and 2016. It is also Lionel Messi’s first title with his selection. The Albiceleste, lacking in success in recent years, has finally succeeded in defeating its demons.
