Relief in Miami as Hard Rock Stadium avoids Copa America final chaos

Last summer's Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia descended into chaos with thousands of supporters storming the stadium after long delays to enter. 

Fans climbed stadium gates, scaled walls and crawled through ventilation ducts in an effort to enter the stadium, with kick-off delayed for over an hour.
