Argentina needed penalties to book their place in the Copa America semi-finals. Lionel Messi needed to be bailed out after Lisandro Martinez scored their only goal in normal time.
The world champions took a 1-0 lead over Ecuador after Martinez’s header in the 35th minute. Messi swung in a ball from a corner, which was flicked behind by a leaping Alexis Mac Allister to Martinez.
Martinez had enough power behind his header as Ecuador goalkeeper Alexander Dominguez tried to punch the ball to safety.
