Messi misses the penalty, Argentina qualifies after "Russian roulette"

Argentina secured qualification to the semi-finals of the America's Cup, after many difficulties against Ecuador.

The defending champions celebrated only after penalties, while regular time ended in a 1-1 draw.

Scaloni's national team started the match more aggressively and came close to scoring in the 27th minute, but Enzo Fernandez's header went wide of the goalkeeper's left post.

The goal was not delayed and in the 35th minute, Lisandro Martinez caused the Argentines to celebrate, scoring after an assist from McAlister.

The second half started with the most demanding Ecuadorians and in the 62nd minute, they had the opportunity to equalize, but Valencia made a mistake from the penalty, hitting the post.

At the end of the match, Rodriguez equalized to send the game to Russian roulette and postpone Argentina's celebration.

Penalties started very badly for the Argentinians and the one who was least expected, Leo Messi, made a mistake. The "pleshti" shot crashed into the transversal.

However, goalkeeper Martinez turned into Argentina's hero, spectacularly saving Ecuador's first two shots.

Furthermore, the Argentinians did not make a mistake and scored all the remaining shots, to secure qualification to the semi-finals, where they will face the winner of the Venezuela-Canada pair.
