Internationals: Martínez performs penalty heroics at the Copa América

Emiliano Martínez saved three spot-kicks as Argentina reached the Copa América final with a penalty shoot-out win against Colombia.

The goalkeeper was mobbed by his team-mates after he got the better of Davinson Sanchez, Yerry Mina and Edwin Cardona as his country claimed a 4-2 victory in the shoot-out.

During the 90 minutes, Lautaro Martinez had put Argentina in front with just seven minutes on the clock.

Colombia hit back to level at 1-1 and force the game to penalties when Luis Diaz struck on 61 minutes.

But Martinez guessed right and made three fine saves in the shoot-out to set up a final against Brazil on Sunday (ko 1am), where he will meet Aston Villa team-mate Douglas Luiz.

Congratulations, Emi!
