In the final, Venezuela went under: Gabriel Barbosa (photo) was able to make it 1-2 on penalties and substitute Antony deepened it to 1-3 at the time of injury.
No goals in Argentina – Paraguay
Argentina had a lot of possessions at home against Paraguay, but finding the opening turned out to be a very difficult task.
