[ad_1]

Argentina is advancing after a 1-1 win over Ecuador that ended with penalty kicks in Copa América on Thursday.

After a strong showing in the group stages, the defending Copa América champions had to deal with plenty of stress against Ecuador but ultimately punched a ticket to the semifinals, where it will face the winner of Canada vs. Venezuela.

After Argentina's victory, here's a look at the updated bracket, a recap of the match and the schedule moving forward:

Quarterfinal

Argentina def. Ecuador (1-1); Will face winner of Canada vs. Venezuela Canada vs. Venezuela; Winner faces Argentina Columbia vs. Panama; Will face winner of Uruguay vs. Brazil Uruguay vs. Brazil; Will face winner of Columbia vs. Panama Argentina 1, Ecuador 1 (Argentina wins 4-2 on Penalties)

It was a defensive battle for most of the first half, but Argentina managed to find the back of the net in the 34th minute to take a 1-0 lead before the break. In a beautifully executed corner kick, Lisandro Martínez found himself with a clear shot at the goal and scored off a header.

Argentina's Enzo Fernández later had a clear look at a goal in the first half, but instead went for a cross that ended up nowhere near the goal.

Ecuador had a golden opportunity to score early in the second half when it was awarded a penalty kick after Argentina was called for a handball in the box. Ecuador sent veteran Enner Valencia to take the shot, but he missed it off the post.

Lionel Messi, who set the record for the most minutes played in Copa América history during the match, had his chance to score, but Ecuador managed to keep him out of the net to keep the score at 1-0.

Ecuador was seemingly set to face elimination, but a miraculous goal in extra time kept its hopes alive. A perfect cross from John Yeboah found Kevin Rodríguez, who headed it past the keeper.

Ecuador had a great chance for the game-winner in extra time, but the attempt went just wide.

An exciting penalty shootout saw Argentina make four shots while Ecuador could only make two, allowing Argentina to advance to the semifinal.
