Argentina ultimately won the match 1-0.
The South American Football Confederation has blamed stadium officials in Miami for the crowd chaos that forced the Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia to be delayed by more than an hour on Sunday.
A statement read: “As is known, in the final played in Miami, fans without tickets went to the vicinity of the stadium, which delayed the normal access of the people who did have them, which slowed down entry and led to the closure of doors.“Given this situation, CONMEBOL was subject to the decisions made by the Hard Rock Stadium authorities, in accordance with the contractual responsibilities established for the security operation.
“We regret that the acts of violence caused by malicious people have tarnished a final that was ready to be a great sporting celebration.”
