Argentina reach Copa America semis

Argentina beat Colombia in penalty shootoutd after tense stalemate to reach Copa America semifinals on Saturday. The two-time World Cup football champions advanced to the last four 5-4 on penalties after their 90-minute onslaught failed to give them the goal they deserved in a 0-0 draw with Colombia. Carlos Tevez got the winner with Argentina’s 7th spot kick in what was a thrilling end to a great tie in Vina Del Mar in Chile. Colombian goalkeeper David Ospina was the man of the match, making some remarkable stops to keep his side in the game. The Arsenal ’keeper made a miraculous double save in the 25th minute when he dived to keep out a point-blank shot from Sergio Aguero with his legs and then got up to parry away Lionel Messi’s header from the rebound. He also did just enough to tip a shot from Nicolas Otamendi onto the post with 10 minutes left. Jeison Murillo scooped the ball off the line with seconds to go as Argentina piled on the pressure. Argentina, who have not won the Copa America since 1993, now face the winners of early Sunday morning’s (BdST) Brazil-Paraguay match. The other semi-final will be between host Chile and Peru, according to a news agency.
