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 he'll main in 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

01:49Lionel Messi and what this team is doing for them, but it always needs players to step up around and this is why this team

01:55Has been so successful

01:58Martinez just so good at reading the body language of the attacker a little hesitation to the right. Boom. He knows where man

02:04It's going makes 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

02:28I

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 shootout

03:24It's almost like he expects to save every single one same thing again

03:29Look 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

04:05Stores

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

04:29Deeper 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 saves all 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 bow it did. It'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

05:45Then it hits into the middle of it

05:47That 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 at Ecuador alive

06:29But just barely. Oh, 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 balls just at a weird height

06:52It comes off his knee and in the back

06:54Nicholas Ohtamendi 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
