An amazing week of international sports culminated with the Copa America Final of Argentina versus Colombia and an epic matchup of superstars of Lionel Messi and James Rodriguez (both former Sportsmen of the Week). But it was another budding superstar, Argentinian Lautaro Martinez, who stole the glory. In the 112' of Extra Time, when penalty kicks seemed to be a certainty, Lautaro took it upon himself to decide the practical Golden Goal. After Colombia stumbled for an entire sequence to get a good set together, Giovani Lo Celso struck a perfect pass to Martinez who beat the Colombian keeper Camilo Vargas hands were too late. Martinez had five goals in the tournament to lead as well. As Messi fades into the sunset, Martinez is likely the heir apparent to keep Argentina in the top. And is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
