Heartbrake for Messi at 2015 Copa America Final.

2015 Copa America hosts Chile went onto become the champions of the Copa America in their history as they defeated favorites Argentina 4-1 on penalties. In this article we would discuss five important points that emerged out of the game.

Chile finally ends the jinx

Chile beat Argentina on penalties by 4-1 to win Copa America first time.

Chile wins first ever Copa America Trophy

Many experts reckoned this tournament is the best chance for the hosts Chile in a long time in order to break their 99-year old jinx and lift the cup. This Chilean side has been the brightest in ages and with Jorge Sampaoli as their coach this was a huge opportunity for the hosts and playing at home was an added advantage for them.

In the final all eyes were on the stars Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez but it was the tactical genius of coach Sampaoli that they neutralized Messi’s threat. Chile were deservedly crowned champions as they were the best team on show as they scored the most goals and were always looking to play positive and move the ball up the field.

Lionel Messi failed to deliver in big match for Argentina

Messi came to the tournament on the back of a brilliant treble winning season with Barcelona but once again it was a case of so near yet so far for him as his team faltered again when it mattered the most. It was a forgettable evening for the maestro as he failed to have a shot on the goal and his family attacked in the stands by home fans. This loss doesn’t take away his credentials of being the best player but another setback in failing to bring success for his country will haunt the modern day legend.

Incompetent Martino

The Argentine coach has been drawing flak for his rubbish tactics for some time now and last night was no different. His team selection and tactics in the group stages were tagged dubious during the competition and in the final when they needed a goal he brought on Ever Banega, a defensive choice to say the least. Martino failed to bring the best out of the strong and talented squad in his spell as the Argentina manager. His tactic of playing Messi deep in the field was baffling to sum up in short as Argentina lacked the creative spark upfront. Although he was outstanding in his stints prior to his move to Europe, his last two jobs show that he may not be cut out to cope in high pressure jobs.

Sanchez Shines

Alexis Shines for Chile

This season has turned out to be a pretty good one for the Arsenal superstar, first a good World Cup outing and then his move to the North London club and now a Copa America winners ‘medal, Sanchez couldn’t have asked for a better season. He carried a lot of expectations on his shoulders after a successful spell in England where he made his mark with attacking skills and ability to score important goals consistently and the star player didn’t disappoint as he was at his best in the group stages. His showings were below par in the knockout games but he was all pumped up in the final game as he was easily the best player on the field.

Luck runs out for Di Maria

Angel Di Maria failed to preform in Copa America Final 2015.

Angel Di Maria failed to produce goals for Argentina in the tournament

The Manchester United star was started to look threatening in the final until he was withdrawn in the 29th minute following a reoccurrence of the thigh problem which hampered his World Cup campaign. Di Maria was looking the better player in the knockouts after a forgetful debut season at Old Trafford and he was expected to ease the burden on Messi as he had the temperament and ability to perform on big occasions. Had he played the full game maybe the result would’ve been different as he tormented the opposition defense in his short stay on the field.
