Copa America Final.
Today woke up at 1.20 AM to watch the final
of Copa America Football. Scheduled time
and extra time ended in goalless. Bravo the Chilean Captain and goalkeeper gave
a brilliant display under the bar thwarting many moves of Argentina. It was a
fast paced encounter with moves and counter moves and attacks and counter
attacks. Messi was tightly marked. Di Maria had to be replaced due to
injury. All the players who played 120
minutes would have completed a half marathon including referee. In the penalty
shootout Argentina wasted the second and third penalty where as Chile converted
all the 4 penalties. Perhaps Argentina would have overawed by the brilliance of
Bravo under the Bar which appears to have affected their concentration. After Alexis won the 4th penalty he
removed his shirt and ran all over the field. Excitement, joy and ecstasy were
visible on the faces of thousand s of fans and Chilean supporters. Chile
reached the final after 28 years and won the trophy for the first time. It is a
great feeling to win the trophy on front of a capacity home crowd. They are the deserving winners as wasting
penalties by a team like Argentina is unpardonable. Referee controlled the
match well to avoid any ugly incidents. Final score 4-1.
