Chile upset Argentina on penalties as hosts win Copa America for the first time

CHILE 0-0 ARGENTINA (AET, 4-1 pens) At last, the wait is over. At a stadium so entrenched in Chile's history it almost drips from the creaking rafters, a new chapter was written. The Estadio Nacional, which once housed up to 20,000 citizens during the country's bloody dictatorship, erupted as Alexis Sanchez cheekily chipped home the winning penalty to end La Roja's 99-year wait for Copa America success. The team hailed at the start ofthis tournament as the best Chile had ever produced duly delivered as Argentina lost a second major final in as many summers.
