************************************
ARGENTINA WIN 3-2 ON PENALTIES
Argentina dominated the final 30 minutes and Lautaro Martínez missed one of the easiest chances of his career, and Messi hit the post as well. Colombia survive, and we're going to penalties.
COLOMBIA EQUALIZE! Long ball from the back finds Luis Díaz, who beats Pezzella for pace and knocks the ball past Emi Martínez to make it 1-1!
Back underway in Brasília!
Argentina scored early and defended for the rest of the half, and Colombia had very good chances to equalize, hitting the post twice and forcing Martínez into some tough saves. A lot of Colombian pressure promised for the second half.
ARGENTINA TAKE THE LEAD! Fantastic pass from Lo Celso to find Messi inside the box, and the captain sets up Lautaro who finds the bottom corner!
Messi goes on a ridiculous run past four defenders and finds Lautaro Martínez inside the box, but his header goes wide.
And we're underway in Brasília!
Juan Cuadrado returns to the Colombian team.
