Juventus man Paulo Dybala scored one and set up another as Argentina beat Chile 2-1 for third place in the Copa America, but Leo Messi and Gary Medel saw red.

The Seleccion finished the tournament with a bronze medal and one of their more convincing performances, despite missing suspended Inter forward Lautaro Martinez.

Dybala started instead and made an immediate impact in a more advanced role, setting up Sergio Aguero before dinking the second over the on-rushing goalkeeper himself.

However, the match was overshadowed by a controversial incident in the first half, when Messi and Medel were both sent off for a scuffle.

While Medel seemed to at least attempt a headbutt, they mainly bumped chests, which made the double red card somewhat exaggerated.

There were multiple bookings throughout the match and Arturo Vidal converted another contentious penalty after the break.

Dybala also let the tension get to him, as he reacted with irritation when substituted.
