Cristian Romero said Argentina’s Copa America showdown with Colombia “didn’t seem like a final” due to the chaotic scenes outside the ground in Miami.
Fans without tickets flooded the turnstiles at the Hard Rock Stadium for Sunday’s clash, with kick-off delayed for almost 90 minutes.
The poor organisation eventually resulted in those fans being allowed to enter, causing further chaos.
Romero, who helped Argentina to a 1-0 victory, said emotions were running high.
“It was hard because many had their families outside, they didn’t know what was going on,”
