The final 2-on-1 fight as Cap and Bucky take on Iron Man is a slug-fest for the ages. Bucky gets taken out of the equation after Tony blows his arm off (something which the trailers sadly spoiled, seemingly by accident), and it's down to Cap and Iron Man for the remainder.

The pair give each other a good dusting over before Cap manages to get the upper hand, smashing his shield into Cap's armour and destroying the power core, doing so with enough force that, for a moment, it seems like Cap could very easily kill Iron Man. Cap then takes off with Bucky, leaving his iconic shield behind.

While those who consider themselves on Team Cap might start rejoicing, it's important to remember that this isn't really a "win" for anyone but Baron Zemo. When Zemo is captured at the end of the movie, he even says to Everett Ross that his plan didn't fail, because his intention was to dismantle The Avengers, and that's pretty much exactly what happened.
