Highlights – Argentina Knock Colombia out of the Copa America

copa-america-trophyArgentina followed Chile and Peru to qualify for the semi finals of the Copa America after beating Colombia on penalties.
The White and Blues were dominant through out the game and created more chances but to no avail as the game remained goalless in normal time as well as extra time.
Colombia were mundane all game and were only in the contest because of Arsenal star goalie David Ospina who saved them on numerous occasions. Notably, Ospina made a brilliant double save in the first half and a vital save from Otamendi to keep Colombia in the game.
The spot kicks started with perfect finishes until Luis Muriel blasted one over the post in the orbit. Lavezzi did give La Albiceleste advantage but Biglia then placed his penalty well wide to send the shoot out into sudden death.
Colombians failed to convert both their spot kicks in sudden death. Rojo could not take advantage of the first, however Tevez made no mistake, slotted the ball in the net to earn Argentina a place in the last four. Argentina will now face the winner of tonight’s game between Brazil and Paraguay.
Here are the match highlights.
