    OK that is all from us. The Copa America final between Brazil and Peru takes place tomorrow at 21:00 BST and you can follow the action via live text commentary on the BBC Sport website.

    It will take some going for that game to top this one!

    See you later.

    Lionel Messi has already said he won't be retiring and hopefully the sending off won't change his mind.

    That was only the second time he has been sent off in his career, with his only other red card coming on his international debut 14 years ago. He was sent off after just fives minutes then!

    Incidentally he has never been sent off for Barcelona.

    Ouch! There's another crunching challenge from Chile and it has left Rodrigo De Paul in a grimacing heap on the floor. I'm in pain just watching some of these tackles tonight.

    Now Sergio Aguero is in but he rushes his shot and it curls wide of the post. Are Argentina going to rue these missed chances to put this game to bed?

    Argentina 2-1 Chile

    Angel di Maria is suddenly away down the left and there's not many red shirts in that half of the pitch. He gets towards the edge of the area and spots Sergio Aguero in loads of space on the other side of the box.

    His pass is under hit, Aguero just manages to get there but Arias has the time to close the gap and make the save from Aguero's chipped effort.

    A change for Argentina as Paulo Dybala is replaced by Angel Di Maria. Dybala swipes the air in frustration as he heads towards the bench. He's not happy about that at all.

    Chile have their tails up now there is just one goal in it, has anyone told these two teams this is not a final? They are both giving their all, scrapping for every loose ball. It has been a breathless watch.

  19. VAR CHECKpublished at 21:19 British Summer Time 6 July 2019

    Argentina 2-0 Chile

    For something... referee is on his way over to the monitor.

    It looks to be for an early incident where Lo Celso fouled Aranguz in the box. Chile could have a penalty...

    Argentina 2-0 Chile

    Argentina are on the hunt for a third as Sergio Aguero leads an attack. It's two against two with Paulo Dybala in support but Aguero's cross is touched behind by the Chile defender. Crucial intervention.
