With 15 minutes remaining, both teams made substitutions, with Argentina switching their center-forward from Agüero to Gonzalo Higuaín, and Chile making an alteration in midfield, replacing Jorge Valdivia with Matías Fernández. Minutes later, Arturo Vidal went down in the penalty area, but no foul was called. With nine minutes remaining of regulation time, Argentina made their final substitution, Javier Pastore was replaced by Éver Banega; soon after his entrance into the game, Banega was fouled by Charles Aránguiz, who was booked. Argentina then had their best chance of the game with only seconds remaining in regular time. Argentina staged a counterattack after Chile lost the ball. Messi dribbled past two Chilean defenders before passing the ball to Lavezzi near the penalty area, Lavezzi then passed the ball to Higuaín, who charged down the right side with a tight angle to shoot. His shot was inches wide of the inside of the post, however, and instead the ball hit the outside of the net. After regulation time, the game remained goalless. Early into extra time, Chile made their second substitution, replacing Eduardo Vargas with Ángelo Henríquez. In the final minutes of extra time, Chile had a corner, which was cleared by Lucas Biglia and Higuaín. During the second period of extra time, Chile had their best chance to take the lead, after a goal throw from Claudio Bravo failed to be properly cleared away by Mascherano, leaving Alexis Sánchez to run down the pitch and shoot, only for his shot to go over the crossbar. Later on, Messi was fouled, giving a free kick to Argentina, which Gary Medel cleared three times from the Chilean penalty area to take the game into a penalty shootout. Matías Fernández took the first penalty, dispatching it past Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero, and Messi netted Argentina's first attempt to keep the scores level after the first round. Second was Vidal, who scored, despite Romero making contact with his shot. Higuaín then missed, with an attempt which went too high. Aránguiz scored from a powerful attempt and then Bravo saved Banega's shot. Alexis Sánchez scored the winning penalty, a Panenka-style finish. https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33085977 Chile 0 Argentina 0 (4-1 on pens) 5 July 2015 BBC Sport 14 July 2015 Details 2015 7 4 y 17:00 CLT (UTC−3) CHI ARG 0–0 yes Estadio Nacional, Santiago 45,693 http://www.ca2015.com/en/match/report/1901767 Chile's long wait for Copa América glory over as Argentina pay the penalty Copa America Chile 2015 26 August 2015 Wilmar Roldán (Colombia) http://estadisticas.conmebol.com/html/v3/index.html?channel=deportes.futbol.copaamerica.215751&lang=es_LA&theme=copaamerica Fernández Vidal Aránguiz Sánchez 4–1 Messi Higuaín Banega _chile14h _chile14H _chile14h _chile14h ED1C24 ED1C24 ED1C24 0000FF FFFFFF Chile _arg15h _arg15h _arg15h _arg15H _long_arg15H ffffff ffffff ffffff 000000 000000 Argentina GK1Claudio Bravo (c)CB5Francisco Silva 24CB21Marcelo Díaz 34CB17Gary Medel 44RM4Mauricio IslaCM20Charles Aránguiz 87CM8Arturo VidalLM15Jean BeausejourAM10Jorge Valdivia 75CF11Eduardo Vargas 95CF7Alexis SánchezSubstitutes:MF14Matías Fernández 75FW22Ángelo Henríquez 95Manager:ARG Jorge Sampaoli |valign="top"|300px |valign="top" width="50%"| GK1Sergio RomeroRB4Pablo ZabaletaCB15Martín DemichelisCB17Nicolás OtamendiLB16Marcos Rojo 55CM6Lucas BigliaCM14Javier Mascherano 56RW10Lionel Messi (c)AM21Javier Pastore 81LW7Ángel Di María 29CF11Sergio Agüero 74Substitutes:FW22Ezequiel Lavezzi 29FW9Gonzalo Higuaín 74MF19Éver Banega 91 81Manager: Gerardo Martino Man of the Match: Arturo Vidal (Chile)http://www.ca2015.com/en/news/vidal-named-mastercard-man-of-the-match-in-copa-america-final-win/zkn6gfz7z0ym1l4c2l9lb57pv Vidal named MasterCard Man of the Match in Copa América final win Copa América Chile 2015 4 July 2015 5 July 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150706000722/http://www.ca2015.com/en/news/vidal-named-mastercard-man-of-the-match-in-copa-america-final-win/zkn6gfz7z0ym1l4c2l9lb57pv 6 July 2015 dead Assistant referees: Alexander Guzmán (Colombia) Cristian De La Cruz (Colombia) Fourth official: José Argote (Venezuela) Fifth official: Christian Lescano (Ecuador)http://www.conmebol.com/es/01072015-1937/arbitros-para-la-final-y-el-tercer-puesto-de-la-copa-america Árbitros designados para la gran final de la Copa América Designated officials for the Copa América grand final CONMEBOL 1 July 2015 es dead https://web.archive.org/web/20150702184425/http://www.conmebol.com/es/01072015-1937/arbitros-para-la-final-y-el-tercer-puesto-de-la-copa-america 2 July 2015 Statistics +Overall Statistic Chile ArgentinaGoals scored 0 0Total shots 16 6Shots on target 9 4Ball possession 52% 48%Corner kicks 4 7Fouls committed 29 21Yellow cards 4 3Red cards 0 0 References External links http://www.ca2015.com/en Copa América Chile 2015 official website Category:2015 Copa América 2015 2015 2015 Category:Football competitions in Santiago, Chile Category:2010s in Santiago, Chile Category:July 2015 sports events in South America Category:Football matches in Chile 2015
