00:002016 Copa America final it's an Argentina team that was ready to go quick ready to go they were out there at the
00:07Halfway line Ecuador had more of a team huddle. They were delaying things Argentina ready for business
00:14So important the first kick. That's why Messi goes you set the tone for the rest of the shootout
00:19Huge moment for Argentina here against 37-year-old Alexander Dominguez who again won three penalty shootouts with his club team last year
00:30Panenka is off the top of the bar into the roof of the net Messi missed
00:41Oh my goodness
00:44Talk about setting the tone and Lionel Messi looks so calm and focused
00:49Had a clear plan of what he wanted to do, which was the Panenka and he just chipped it too much off the crossbar and over
01:00And
01:04That was the last shootout that they missed was in that final when he missed the first one
01:08I think about the shockwave through the team after that moment that miss their
01:1336 year old on Helmina his 61st all-time appearance. He's been an MLS killer in his career in Mexico
01:21It'd be an Argentina killer in the shootout for Ecuador
01:25against a million of Martinez
01:31Oh
01:47Listen we talked so often for Lionel Messi and what this team is doing for them
01:52But it always needs players to step up around and this is why this team has been so successful
01:58Martinez just so good at reading the body language of the attacker a little hesitation to the right boom
02:04He knows we're made it's going
02:05Makes the save and then as always the showman to the crowd Julian Alvarez lost his starting spot at this tournament
02:11He came on for the tar Martinez as a sub
02:15Taking in the second round makes it
02:27I
02:33Guess the six foot five goalkeeper you need every bit of that corner and it's a great penalty from Julian Alvarez
02:39Picking out the top corner
02:41Dominguez went the right way
02:44This is gonna be a fun shootout right here. This is back and forth back and forth
02:50He's made seven saves now in four career shootouts for his country
02:54Alameda now 21 years of age just his eighth ever game for his country
02:59taking in the second round in front of
03:0270,000 fans in Houston
03:05Oh
03:21You watch him in the net for a penalty, it's almost like he expects to save every single one
03:28Same thing again. Look at that left hand up above his body
03:33But as Mina had committed to it he's down head over the top Martinez is already there
03:38He saw it same thing. He gives the shimmy to the left saying I know you're going right boom hand is up
03:44Advantage back to Argentina as you said if it's possible to be a World Cup winner and play for Liverpool and be an unsung hero
03:51Alexis McAllister is that man and he takes now in the third round for Argentina
04:02And
04:05Scores
04:07That's a great penalty
04:09Just to focus the concentration and you saw how long he just collected himself before he took the penalty extreme focus
04:20A little bit of a prayer as well from Argentina
04:23Look at that just
04:26Across his body into the side netting
04:29People right now is holding up the crowd, but this is something he did at the World Cup to off the ball
04:34He threw the ball away
04:36Shenanigans is the the PC word that I could use but he saved the first two
04:40John you bow is from Germany might have been playing for the Germans at the Euros
04:43He switched to Ecuador this year and he delivers him boy. Did they need him to?
04:50They needed to because Argentina were building that momentum and Emmy Martinez that time actually started far to the right of his goal
04:58Was daring him to put it in that corner. Well, you know, it did. That's a great finish
05:05You see quickly shuffled back in there and he called his bluff said yeah, you know what I'm gonna stick it right in that corner
05:12Gonzalo Montiel as he did in the World Cup final taking fourth. They only needed four kicks in the World Cup final
05:19His kick won the World Cup for Argentina. This would put Argentina on the verge of victory
05:26Yes
05:40I didn't feel like the cleanest of strikes
05:42You know, it certainly wasn't you saw the chalk coming up from the penalty spot
05:45And it hits into the middle of it
05:47It doesn't matter all that matters it hits the back of the net and he got Dominguez
05:51To go the wrong way messy with a bit of a chuckle
05:54And look at this if Martinez did the same thing again off your screen right now
05:58He threw the ball away
05:59Which is what Kaisaito who the man who missed the chance at the very end of the half?
06:03Had to go get it now has to reset
06:05Jordy Kaisaito could have won this game for Ecuador with that header in the final seconds
06:09He has to make this kick to keep Ecuador in it. If he misses if Emiliano Martinez saves
06:16Argentina advances
06:24And he got a kick to it or a touch or something but it is in and Ecuador are alive but just barely
06:30Oh, he went the right way. He had it and
06:34Yeah, Felix Sanchez looks as a lot there
06:39Look what it means to these fans and Emmy Martinez. Look he goes the right way. He goes to his right a
06:46Little bit of a hesitation. The timing is good and almost he goes too soon and the ball's just at a weird height
06:52It comes off his knee and in the back
06:54Nicholas Otsumendi tonight moved into the top 10 games played in Argentina's history. He's 36
07:01He can win this shootout for his country with this kick
07:08Yes
