Who scored Argentina's extra-time winner in the 2024 Copa America final?

The story behind the answer

Lautaro Martínez scored Argentina’s extra-time winner in the 2024 Copa América final. His 112th-minute goal gave Argentina a 1–0 victory over Colombia at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

The match remained goalless through regulation time, with both teams defending carefully and creating only limited clear chances. Martínez entered the game as a substitute in the second half and supplied the decisive finish after a move involving Leandro Paredes and Giovani Lo Celso.

The goal was especially significant because Argentina captain Lionel Messi had been forced off with an ankle injury earlier in the match. Martínez’s strike secured Argentina’s second consecutive Copa América title and its record sixteenth championship in the competition. He also finished the tournament as its leading scorer with five goals, underlining his importance beyond the final itself.
