Argentina vs Colombia

Transcript

00:00Here they are, Lionel Messi, leading Argentina out.

00:04James Rodriguez doing the same for Colombia.

00:09So for both these sides, an opportunity, a moment to be seized,

00:13a chance that might not come again and certainly won't look exactly the same if and when it does.

00:18One group of players seeking to add to their legend,

00:21another trying to create a new status of their own.

00:25Let's see the starting 11 for Argentina.

00:28And of course, Emiliano Martinez is in goal.

00:30They're an unchanged side from their win over Canada in the semi-final

00:33with Tagliafico, Martinez, Romero and Montiel across the back line.

00:37In the midfield, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis McAllister and Rodrigo de Paul,

00:42who's sporting a new haircut tonight.

00:43We'll see that momentarily.

00:45Angel Di Maria, Julian Alvarez and Lionel Messi across the front three.

00:50It is a slight tactical tweak.

00:52It's the same starting 11, but instead of a 4-4-2,

00:55like they employed against Canada, they go with a 4-3-3 today.

00:58So three in the midfield, three up top.

01:01Now let's see the starting 11 for Colombia.

01:04The goalkeeper, of course, is Camilo Vargas.

01:06He's been great in this tournament.

01:08Johan Mojica, Carlos Cuesta, Davinson Sanchez.

01:11And the one change that they make from their semi-final,

01:13Santiago Arias is in for the suspended Daniel Munoz.

01:16Jefferson Lerma scored the winner in the semi-final.

01:19He partners with Richard Rios, Luis Diaz, James Rodriguez and John Arias.

01:24And then John Cordova is up top in this 4-2-3-1

01:28that Nestor Lorenzo has become known for over the last two years.

01:31It is a formation that he has employed to allow

01:35James Rodriguez as much flexibility as possible.

01:38We had to wait a bit.

01:39We're finally ready.

01:41Let's enjoy history together.

01:44We are in motion in Miami, Argentina and Colombia in the Copa America final.

01:55First touch from Messi.

01:56And he darts to the outside and feeds a teammate down the right.

01:59This is Montiel.

02:00Into the middle.

02:01Big early chance and it's screwed wide.

02:04Julian Alvarez had a great look to put Argentina ahead in the very first minute.

02:12Came up off his shin.

02:14Couldn't make a clean connection with it.

02:17I wonder if that caused this game to start slowly.

02:19Not the case.

02:20They've come out flying.

02:20Here's Luis Diaz running.

02:22Luis Diaz in low.

02:24First save of the game for Emiliano Martinez.

02:33This is what you don't want if you're Argentina.

02:35Luis Diaz picking up the ball with room to run.

02:38Now James trying to scoop it into the box.

02:41Falls for Cordoba.

02:42Cordoba wide.

02:46Uh-oh.

02:46John Cordoba just missed that far post.

02:49Great build-up from Colombia.

02:52Who's onside as well.

02:53And Santiago Arias winning that ball so well.

02:55Cordoba.

02:58Down off the chest.

03:00Clipped the outside of the post.

03:03James delivers.

03:05Free header.

03:06Into the middle and it's right at Emiliano Martinez.

03:10Good look for Colombia on the second ball.

03:12Cuesta was in there.

03:14Argentina survived.

03:15And forward.

03:16And dragged back.

03:17And still on the ball.

03:18Magically into the path.

03:21Of Angel Di Maria.

03:23In low.

03:23Messi!

03:24Hit bodies in front.

03:25Deflects to Vargas.

03:28It looked like the opening goal but Colombia in the way.

03:31Just enough.

03:33And they got a kind bounce afterward.

03:36Messi had drifted into space.

03:38It actually came off Julian Alvarez I think.

03:42Alvarez was trying to...

03:45James.

03:49Outside of the foot for Rios.

03:51Rios able to skip past Di Maria.

03:53Rios to the end line.

03:54Pulls it across.

03:56Up in the air.

03:57And a foul given against Argentina.

03:59As Cordoba caught Lisandro Martinez.

04:05And he's shown the first card of this final.

04:13John Cordoba into the book in the 27th minute.

04:15After this foul on Lisandro Martinez.

04:18Came in high with the studs exposed.

04:22Taken off his toes by Lerma.

04:24And Diaz is going to track this.

04:26Luis Diaz on the run.

04:28And showed too much of the ball to Cristian Romero.

04:31Mojica though.

04:32And Lerma.

04:34Lerma accelerates around one.

04:35Jefferson Lerma just wide.

04:40It was a rocket.

04:41But it wasn't far away.

04:48That was a touch too from Martinez.

04:51I'm not sure if that was going wide anyway.

04:55Di Maria.

04:58Outside of the foot for Messi.

05:00The return ball.

05:01Finds Messi.

05:02Messi still by the end line.

05:04Ran out of room.

05:06And it went out for a goal kick.

05:07And Messi grabbing at that left ankle.

05:10Maybe it's the right leg.

05:12It is the right leg.

05:12That's been a problem for him at this tournament remember.

05:16From anxious moments for Argentina.

05:28Now the reports from Argentina.

05:30You can see that they're still going strong.

05:33That they're still going strong.

05:34And that's a pretty good sign.

05:36Now, the reports from Argentina's camp, as you see the ball go out of play again, were

05:42that the issue for Messi had been higher up the leg by the adductor or groin area, so.

05:51Messi delivers, great ball, it's over the bar.

05:57Taliafica rose up but couldn't keep it down.

06:09Luis Diaz and James, James, clipped to the penalty spot, headed back side, Arias just

06:16wide.

06:17Santiago Arias has never scored for Colombia in 60 appearances.

06:27He's certainly come closer than he did there.

06:34A headed set-piece goal in the Leonel Scaloni era, that's the last five years.

06:39James in, back post, near side, headed over, and wide.

06:45Another good chance from a set-piece for Colombia, Davinson Sanchez missed the target.

06:53It's the third time they've won the initial ball from a set-piece.

06:59Watch Sanchez just wriggle free, and Argentina come again.

07:06Di Maria, on the run, into the box, on held, Di Maria touched away, Camilo Vargas makes

07:13the save.

07:14Now a free kick for Colombia, to end a frantic sequence of play.

07:29The first card of the night, Arias, Arias, across the way intended for Rios, falls to

07:36Santiago Arias instead, now Richard Rios, Rios tried to scoop it into the middle, came

07:41off the defender, that was Taliafico, it's shielded out by Arias, it will be a corner,

07:46and Messi is down again for Argentina.

07:47And will that be the end of the line for him tonight?

07:48Well, that was a non-contact issue, and that's always a bad sign.

07:49He'll still be gutted, of course, that he has to leave this game now.

07:50He's got the ball, he's got the ball, he's got the ball, he's got the ball, he's got
