Messi Wins First Major International Title
Argentina Beats Brazil in Copa America Final
Lionel Messi finally has his first major international title after Argentina beat Brazil 1-0 in the Copa America final on Saturday.
The match was played in front of a sold-out crowd at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, and it was Messi who scored the winning goal in the 22nd minute.
It was a historic victory for Argentina, who won their 15th Copa America title and their first since 1993. It was also a special moment for Messi, who had been criticized for not winning a major trophy with his country.
The win is sure to give Messi a boost ahead of the World Cup in Qatar later this year. He will be hoping to lead Argentina to their first World Cup title since 1986.
The Copa America final was broadcast in the United States on FOX with a Spanish-language broadcast via FS1. The match will be replayed on FS1 on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET.
