Emiliano Martinez was the hero for Argentina as he saved three times in a penalty shootout to take his team into a Copa America final match-up with Brazil.
After Tuesday's semi-final against Colombia finished 1-1 after 90 minutes, Martinez tried to distract Colombia's players in the shootout with a barrage of trash talk and saved from Davinson Sanchez, Yerry Mina and Edwin Cardona.
Lionel Messi, Leandro Paredes and Lautaro Martinez scored for Argentina as they booked a spot against the host nation in Saturday´s final at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana stadium.
