Argentina’s possible route to the final: Copa America 2024 bracket
Argentina faced more challenges than expected in the semifinals of the Copa America 2024 against Ecuador, a team that had never beaten them in this tournament’s history.
Lisandro Martinez opened the scoring in the 35th minute, but Ecuador persisted and equalized in stoppage time at 90+1 through Kevin Rodriguez. The match had to be decided by penalties thereafter.
Lionel Messi missed the first spot-kick with a failed Panenka attempt, but Dibu Martinez came to Argentina’s rescue by saving two shots, securing a 4-2 victory for his team.
With Argentina advancing after defeating Ecuador, Lionel Scaloni’s team awaits their semifinal opponent. Venezuela and Canada will face off on Friday to determine who will challenge the current world champions for a spot in the grand final.
On the other side of the bracket, Uruguay and Brazil will compete against each other. The winner of this match will then face the winner between Colombia and Panama.
