Iran Press/ America: The Albiceleste drew with Colombia during the normal time following Lautaro Martinez's opener and Luis Diaz's equalizer.
After 90 minutes could not separate both the teams, the match went straight to penalties according to rules, which states only the Copa final will have extra time should the need arise.
In what was supposed to be a nervy affair for the Argentines, Emi Martinez, who seemed to be playing classic mind games on the penalty takers, turned hero with three saves to take Argentina through.
The 2021 Copa America, the 47th edition of the Copa America, is being held without public attendance in Brazil.
