00:00Field 4-4-2 at times, 4-3-3, really defensively, it's to get some structure around Lionel Messi

00:22up top when he just kind of hangs out, the rest of the team defends.

00:25This is the knockout round, their claim to be considered the greatest men's international

00:31team of all time.

00:32We are underway with Argentina.

00:36They held on by the skin of their teeth in the dying moments, including a Mexican penalty

00:41kick that was in.

00:42The top scorer in the tournament just left it behind him there, and then the pressure

00:46will see it deflected out for an Ecuador throw.

00:48And so they really try.

00:50De Paul gets through, hands it off, Latar Martinez beaten to it by Angelo Preciado.

00:56The opening match of the World Cup a year and a half ago, and he took this job last

01:01spring.

01:02Sort of a funny switch that he's been in Chau's higher history.

01:04They've never won a knockout stage game at a World Cup.

01:06This is rare.

01:07Moises Caicedo all by himself, and he got poked away from behind just before he was

01:12going to shoot, it looked like, and Emiliano Martinez able to collect through Preciado

01:18at least for the first moment.

01:19Andrew Paez hands to clear, has it blocked in.

01:23Has to be hooked away by Felix Torres.

01:25Four-year-old all-time leading scorer for Ecuador.

01:27Is this going to be his final Copa America appearance?

01:31McAllister, and that was Carlos Grueso of the San Jose Airbox trying to get a cross

01:36in, blocked by Lizandro Martinez, who couldn't do anything.

01:39It's hooked in.

01:40It's Romero up for a tackle by McAllister, second touch as well, and Caicedo steps in.

01:46That's waved away, that's not going to be given as a foul, then it's out.

01:50It's going to be an Argent.

01:51Trying to lump it forward, long run for Jeremy Sarmiento, and that ball did just go out.

01:57Sarmiento for Eder Valencia, he goes down, Paez late to the second ball, Romero clean

02:03tackle.

02:04Preciado.

02:05It's Martinez.

02:06Into the middle, this is Sarmiento cutting it back, Sarmiento kicks, save, Emiliano Martinez.

02:12Caicedo first with a loose ball, and that one's blasted over the end by the teenager,

02:19Kendrick Paez.

02:21It's forced wide off the first touch, he cuts it in the middle, it's looped onto the roof

02:25of the net.

02:26Onside or not, as he brings it down, Preciado pokes it away, flag's danged down, oh, and

02:31the flag does now come up.

02:33Martin Sopi just, and Coppea's cross in, Valencia in the area, it's been stabbed away, it's

02:40held in.

02:41Into the middle, Enzo Fernandez, further along, cleared away, Carlos Coroeso sends that cross

02:49in, all the way along, it's gonna be fired, far as Alexis McAllister, that was closed

02:54down.

02:55And then Valencia stepping in, he gets fouled, important step there by Pacho to break that

03:00up to Emiliano Martinez.

03:04Lina from the end line, sends that cross into the middle, the header is looping wide, Enzo

03:10Fernandez, best look of the game for Argentina.

03:12A mystery between the two of them, now they're chirping at each other, two very high quality

03:17midfielders, oh wow.

03:18Valencia laid up McAllister, and finally, Andres Medina makes the bump, but gets that

03:22away, and it just peters out.

03:26As Molina, couldn't return it cleanly, knocked away, Taliafico, trying to find Igual Gonzales

03:32backdoor, and that one, PC running through, he's closed down, he holds it up, Enzo Fernandez,

03:37blocked in the end, will Ian Pacho able to recover, get his body in front out for a corner?

03:42And Argentina.

03:43As Molina, couldn't return it cleanly, knocked away by Encapie, Messi, in swinger, takes

03:48a flick, free header, and did that go across the line?

03:52It sure looks like it did, the officials are conferring right now, as Lisandro Martinez

03:57celebrates, the referee is going to go to the assistant referee, they do not have goal

04:04line technology, here at Copa America.

04:10And it is a goal, off for De Paul, it's going to off the bounce, be fired across the face

04:15of goal by Enzo Fernandez, did he mean that, or it's Argentina won, Ecuador nil.

04:22For Tuesday night's semi-final against either Venezuela or Canada, they'll square off tomorrow,

04:27that long ball, runs it in, Sarmiento looking for a space to shoot, Valencia's in the area,

04:33it's cleared away, Grazel holds it at least at first, still there's men down on the field,

04:37and another big collision at this tournament, Caicedo, in swinger, trying to get a flick.

04:44Natural position, Caicedo, and Emiliano Martinez took actually a bump there right as he was

04:50going to catch it, but a good clean catch, Caicedo from Incapie, loops it forward, Sarmiento

04:55trying to get in, it'll be cleared, Caicedo hooked in, again trying to get that flick

04:59again, the shot's given, penalty for Ecuador!

05:03The same look as just a few moments ago, this time it's given on the field, and a chance.

05:09Off the post, back in, did Martinez get a touch? He did, it's out for a corner,

05:21but Martinez went the wrong way completely, but Valencia couldn't get it in.

05:28And they're just checking this, by the way, to make sure that he was on his line, it looked like

05:33he was creeping up, it looked like Emi Martinez, I was watching, he took a couple of stutter steps,

05:38so it's going to be interesting.

05:39Ibu hearing his name shouted out, Sarmiento struggling to deal with that one.

05:44He's constantly running his link-up play, but up, hey, next man up, Julian Alvarez gets

05:49a chance now, and he scores.

05:52So far, Messi, the ensuing corner and outswinger was sent away by Sarmiento.

05:57But defensively, the work he's going to bring with Martinez, tiring, so that's a better

06:02one there from Gonzalez, they've stepped up their line a little bit.

06:05DePaul, Julian Alvarez waiting for it, oh, it's going to find him, Alvarez, that was

06:09right at Dominguez.

06:12And that was, in fact, Leonel, percent of everyone else that's ever played the game.

06:16A little flick around the outside, and Coppier, and a better tackle there by Molina.

06:20Coppier's down hurt, no foul on the field.

06:24And back in, and Coppier knocks it down, Valencia going to get on it, somehow it's cleared away.

06:29Back into the middle of the field by Franco, it pings around, it was mishit, and it's cleared

06:33away under Valencia.

06:34DePaul comes to close him down, and Coppier crossing it deep to the back post, bounces

06:38all the way.

06:39But there's been a lot of break and play in this second half, that should be a foul.

06:44And he goes down on the heaps, and he caught by a wayward arm, oh, it's given away, Paya

06:48stepped in.

06:50But that's going to be w-

06:52Out there.

06:55Enzo Fernandez taking on-

06:57Play on.

07:02Cutting it inside, crossing it, takes the flick, it's in!

07:05Ecuador scored, it's stoppage time!

07:08Kevin Rodriguez got ahead to it!

07:11Incredibly, the game is tied!

07:27Panenka's off the top of the bar, into the roof of the net, Messi missed!

07:35Saved!

07:39Sub, taking in the second round, makes it!

07:48Saved again!

07:50And scores!

07:59That's a great penalty.

08:00Into the Euros, he switched to Ecuador this year, and he delivers, and boy did they need

08:06him to.

08:07Verge of victory.

08:10Yes!

08:14Bit of a hesitation, the timing is good, and almost he goes-

08:18Kick.

08:21Yes!
