00:12single attempt bar one when he put it high against chile in the 2016 copa america final
00:18and it's an argentina team that was ready to go quick ready to go they were out there at the
00:24halfway line ecuador had more of a team huddle they were delaying things argentina ready for
00:29business so important the first kick that's why messi goes you set the tone for the rest of the
00:35shootout huge moment for argentina here against 37 year old alexander dominguez who again won
00:40three penalty shootouts with his club team last year penang is off the top of the bar
00:51into the roof of the net messi missed oh my goodness
01:01talk about setting the tone and leonel messi looks so calm and focused had a clear plan of
01:07what he wanted to do which was the panenka and he just chipped it too much off the crossbar and over
01:14that was the last shootout that they missed was in that final when he missed the first one
01:24and think about the shock wave through the team after that moment that miss their 36 year old
01:30angel mayna his 61st all-time appearance he's been an mls killer in his career in mexico
01:37it'd be an argentina killer in the shootout for ecuador against a million martinez
01:43is
02:03listen we talk so often for leonel messi and what this team is doing for them but it always needs
02:09players to step up around and this is why this team has been so successful martinez just so good
02:16at reading the body language of the attacker a little hesitation to the right boom he knows
02:20where man is going makes the save and then as always to show him into the crowd bullion alvarez
02:25lost his starting spot at this tournament he came on for the tower martinez as his sub taking in
02:32the second round makes it
02:49against a six foot five goalkeeper you need every bit of that corner and it's a great
02:54penalty from julian alvarez picking out the top corner dominguez went the right way
03:00this is going to be a fun shootout right here this is back and forth back and forth
03:06he's made seven saves now in four career shootouts for his country alaminda now 21 years of age just
03:12his eighth ever game for his country taking in the second round in front of 70 000 fans in houston
03:19in houston
03:38you watch him in the net for a penalty shoot it's almost like he expects to save
03:43every single one same thing again look at that left hand up above his body
03:49but as mina had committed to it he's down head over the top martinez is already there he saw it
03:55same thing he gives the shimmy to the left saying i know you're going right boom hand is up advantage
04:01back to argentina as you said if it's possible to be a world cup winner and play for liverpool
04:05would be an unsung hero alexis mccallister is that man and he takes now in the third round
04:12for argentina
04:21and scores
04:24that's a great penalty just to focus the concentration and
04:28you saw how long he just collected himself before he took the penalty extreme focus
04:36a little bit of a prayer as well from argentina
04:39look at that just across his body into the side netting
04:45debu right now is holding up the crowd but this is something he did at the world cup too
04:50off the ball he threw the ball away shenanigans is the the pc word that i can use but he saved
04:56the first two john yobo is from germany might have been playing for the germans at the euros
05:00he switched to ecuador this year and he delivers and boy did they need him to
05:06they needed to because argentina were building that momentum and emmy martinez that time actually
05:11started far to the right of his goal was daring him to put it in that corner well yobo did it's
05:16a great finish you see quickly shuffled back in there and he called his bluff said yeah you know
05:24what i'm going to stick it right in that corner gonzalo montiel as he did in the world cup final
05:29as he did in the world cup final taking fourth they only needed four kicks in the world cup final
05:35his kick won the world cup for argentina this would put argentina on the verge of victory yes
05:44so
05:56i didn't feel like the cleanest of strikes now it certainly wasn't you saw the chalk coming up
06:00from the penalty spot kind of hits into the middle of it but it doesn't matter all that
06:04matters it hits the back of the net and he got dominguez to go the wrong way messy with a bit
06:09of a chuckle and look at this and martinez did the same thing again off your screen right now
06:14he threw the ball away which is what caicedo who the man who missed the chance at the very end of
06:19the half had to go get it now has to reset jordy caicedo could have won this game for ecuador with
06:24that header in the final seconds he has to make this kick to keep ecuador in it if he misses
06:30if emiliano martinez saves argentina advances
06:40and he got a kick to it or a touch or something but it is in and ecuador are alive but just
06:46barely oh he went the right way he had it and yeah felix sanchez's look says a lot there
06:54look what it means to these fans and emmy martinez look he goes the right way he goes to his right
07:02a little bit of a hesitation the timing is good and almost he goes too soon
07:07and the ball is just at a weird height it comes off his knee and in the back
07:11nicolas otsemeny tonight moved into the top 10 games played in argentina's history
07:16he's 36 he can win this shootout for his country with this kick
07:25yes
07:44you
