Emiliano Martínez kept his second clean sheet in as many games as Argentina reached the quarter finals of the Copa América on Tuesday morning.

After recording a shutout against Uruguay in their second group game, the goalkeeper kept Paraguay at bay as his country secured consecutive 1-0 wins.

Papu Gomez struck in the tenth minute and it proved decisive as Argentina qualified for the knockout stages with a game to spare.

Martínez and his compatriots round off the group stage with a game against Bolivia on 28 June as they look to top Group A.
