Fortunately, Argentina survived twice in a row in the first half. Twice the ball hits the sidebar or the post. But in the second half, Argentina could not stop the attack of Colombia. They digested the goal in 61 minutes.

Colombia's Luiz Diaz scored an incredible goal. He grabbed the ball from Edwin Cardona's pass and brought it to the left side of the goal post. Argentina defender Pajela tried unsuccessfully to return. Diaz wrapped the ball in the Argentine net by tapping on the goalkeeper Martinez.

Earlier in the first half, Lotaro Martinez scored from Messi's pass. Lionel Messi & Co. ended the first half with this 1-0 goal.

If you get a goal as soon as you get on the field, it is possible to get a big crack in the opponent's morale. The chances of winning the match also increased several times. Lionel Messi did the job. Argentina scored in the 8th minute of the Copa America semi-final against Colombia.

Messi got the ball in the D-box from Colombia's defensive half. He cut two defenders and gave a cut back pass to Lotaro Martinez. Getting the ball in the middle of the box, Martinez shook the Colombian net with a great shot from the right foot. Argentina went ahead 1-0.

However, even if Argentina goes ahead with a goal, they have to say good luck. Definitely bad luck for Colombia. In the 36th and 37th minutes, two consecutive shots were taken by Colombia and returned to the head sidebar and crossbar. The ball would enter the Argentine net if it was a little sideways.

At first a ground-biting shot from Wilmer Barrios went right past the sidebar. Colombia got a corner kick after hitting an Argentine defender. Cuadrado took the corner kick in the 36th minute. Jerry Mina jumped the ball from his shot and took the head. But this time the ball came back to the post.

Colombia beat Uruguay in the quarter-finals in a penalty shoot-out to advance to the semifinals of the current Copa America. Argentina, on the other hand, beat Ecuador 3-0 in the last eight. This time Argentina and Colombia are fighting to secure a ticket to the final.
