Hosts Chile won the Copa America for the first time thanks to a 4-1 penalty shoot-out success over Argentina after the final ended goalless.
It was Alexis Sanchez's audacious chip from 12 yards that proved to be the winner in Santiago after Matias Fernandez, Arturo Vidal and Charles Aranguiz had all found the target with powerful efforts.
Lionel Messi scored the first penalty for Argentina but Gonzalo Higuain blazed over the bar and Ever Banega's weak spot-kick was saved to leave Argentina without a Copa America title since 1993.
