However, this talented squad, which wanted to see their captain hold the trophy, responded to the challenge. In comes Lautaro Martinez, the man of the match. Substituting for the bench in the extra time, the Inter Milan striker scored the decisive goal, the fifth goal of the tournament, and thus put Argentina into euphoria.

On the other hand, Colombia could only watch their 28-match undefeated run come to an end. The youth dominated the Colombian team who was managed by James Rodriguez and the team was very determined and intelligent throughout the tournament. They controlled the ball in the early part of the final especially in the first half and put pressure on Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez who had to make several saves. Though they lost on the score board, what Colombia displayed was a promise of what they could achieve in the future.
