00:00We are underway with Argentina, Laube, Celeste in their traditional white and sky blue.

00:08Ecuador, LaTree at Copa Americas.

00:11Caicedo kept that in play. It's a great touch by Sarmiento.

00:15Caicedo into the middle. This is Sarmiento cutting it back.

00:18Sarmiento kicks save. Emiliano Martinez.

00:20Caicedo first with a loose ball.

00:22And that one's blasted over the end by the teenager, Kendri Páez.

00:27But Ecuador, the best chances in the opening 15 minutes.

00:30And Caicedo has this time drifted out to the left-hand side.

00:34Picks up the second ball here in his more familiar position.

00:38A little bit deeper, arriving, facing play.

00:40Streaks away. Molina's having a tough time in that right-back position right now.

00:44Great work by Sarmiento, but right as he goes to strike it,

00:47takes a little extra touch and what a big save from Emiliano Martinez.

00:52Right there as he's trying to stab it, he can't get it.

00:54Not ready for that. Was backing off and expecting someone else to be there.

00:57It's under him. McAllister intercepts. Options either side.

01:00Goes all the way wide. Molina from the end line.

01:02Sends that cross into the middle. The header is looping wide.

01:06Enzo Fernandez best.

01:08Trying to manage. Messy.

01:10In swinger. Takes a flick. Free header.

01:13And did that go across the line?

01:15It sure looks like it did. The officials are conferring right now

01:19as Lisandro Martinez celebrates.

01:21What a ball in. Just watch Lisandro Martinez sneak around the back here.

01:25And the header at the near post.

01:27And it is clearly across the line. Absolutely a goal.

01:30Ecuador losing their marks and it's a well-worked set piece from Argentina

01:35because he spins around. Everybody runs to the near post.

01:39And that's what they're aiming for because Messy puts it on a dime.

01:42Puts it right at that near post. McAllister gets across the...

01:47Acedo hooked in. Can't try to get that flick again.

01:51The shot is given. Penalty for Ecuador.

01:54The same look as just a few...

01:57Now it hits to the near post. It's Franco who gets down and flicks that one up.

02:02Look, if you don't give the first one, I don't know how you can give this one.

02:05DePaul's got his hand tucked into his chest here.

02:08Unless it hits his right one. That second...

02:13Off the post! Back in!

02:18Did Martinez get a touch? He did! It's out for a corner.

02:22Boy, Martinez...

02:23Have a pretty clear... Watch him here. It's creeping up.

02:26Yes, his right leg is back behind the line.

02:29Now the question...

02:33Acedo stepping in. Tagliafico trying to hold it up. It's recovered in the middle.

02:37DePaul. Julian Alvarez waiting for it.

02:40Oh, it's going to find him! Alvarez! That was right at Dominguez.

02:44They've come to accept that, and I think so early...

02:48Not so early, obviously. They've been around for so long.

02:51Oh, a slip at the back. Rodriguez picks it up. Jordy Caicedo has it now.

02:54Caicedo then blasts it into the outside netting on a wonderful...

02:59The shootout specialist in the same way as Emiliano Martinez is for what it's worth.

03:03That one's whistled as a foul.

03:06Quickly back into play for Moises Caicedo.

03:09Comes back to the right. Man down for Argentina. They're just going to play on.

03:13Cutting it inside. Crossing it. Takes the flick. It's in!

03:17Ecuador have scored! It's stoppage time!

03:20Kevin Rodriguez got ahead to it!

03:23Incredibly, the game is tied!

03:27This one quickly, because I thought, hey, bring everybody up.

03:30But instead, they take advantage. Go right back down to the right.

03:33Gonzalez is on the ground. They have the overload. They can't get pressure on the ball.

03:38And the header there.

03:41Coming in. Yeah, he's onside and nobody touches it at the end of that one.

03:44What a great ball in from Yeboah.

03:47And Rodriguez off the bench.

03:51Finding the side netting. Wow!

03:55Completely against the run of play.

03:57He has an incredible history winning penalty shootouts.

04:02Going to be controlling the outside. It's Alan Minda for Ecuador.

04:05Minda running into the box. Minda crossing it in!

04:08That was a flashing!

04:09Hard to stop. Minda just puts it in a great spot.

04:13Look at that chance too. He gets there in front of Montiel.

04:22Panenka's off the top of the bar, into the roof of the net.

04:26Messi.

04:27The tone. And Lionel Messi looks so calm and focused.

04:31Had a clear plan of what he wanted to do, which was the Panenka.

04:34And he just chipped it too much.

04:36The shootout for Ecuador against Emiliano Martinez.

04:44Saved!

04:50Doing for them, but it always needs players to step up around them.

04:54This is why this team has been so successful.

04:57Martinez just so good at reading.

04:59Martinez, as a sub, taking in the second round. Makes it!

05:07Second round in front of 70,000 fans in Houston.

05:13Saved again!

05:19Expects to save every single one.

05:21Same thing again. Look at that left hand up above his body.

05:27But as Minda committed to it, he's down, head over the top.

05:30Argentina.

05:39And scores!

05:42He switched to Ecuador this year, and he delivers.

05:46And boy, did they need him to.

05:49Victory.

05:51Yes!

05:53Martinez saves. Argentina advances.

06:03And he got a kick to it, or a touch or something.

06:06He was right. A little bit of a hesitation. The timing is good.

06:10And almost he goes too soon, and the ball's just at a weird height.

06:14It comes off his knee and in the back.

06:16Nicolas Otamendi tonight moved into the top ten.

06:20Games played in Argentina's history.

06:22He's 36. He can win this shootout for his country with this kick.

06:31Yes!

06:43First two penalties.

06:45Messi misses a penalty tonight.

06:47Messi has a quiet night. He's coming off of injury.

06:50But yet, the supporting cast, once again, is there to pick up their star.

06:56Man, and Argentina punch their ticket to the semifinals.

07:03Boy, they had to work for it tonight, didn't they?

07:07And the circus just keeps going.

07:09And it's going to come back to New York for Tuesday night semifinal

07:13against an opponent to be determined to beat.
