Argentina met the expectations in their last match against underdogs from Ecuador, as they took a pretty convincing 3:0 victory and continued their winning momentum in the Copa America campaign.
They appeared much more dangerous during the first part and took the lead in the 40th over De Paul, and even though Ecuador controlled the ball in the continuation, the Argentinians performed well in transition, and with another two scored over Martinez in the 84th and Messi in the third minute of added time, deservedly progressed further to the semi-finals.
Colombia had a more difficult task in the last match against Uruguay in Brasil, as the penalties decided which nation will participate in Copa America’s top four.
Overly looking, a balanced clash occurred between these two, as each of them created several decent opportunities, but lack of sharpness at the finishing prevented them from doing something more in the regular part, but in the extra time as well.
As mentioned, it all came down to the penalties when Colombians performed perfectly and booked their ticket for the highly anticipated semi-final.

Now or never for Argentina
After a truly great performance in the last match, the Argentinians have every reason to approach this one with high expectations. Finally, their offense has begun to function properly, and if they repeat a similar appearance from their previous two encounters, I see no problems for them outscoring Colombia, which looks quite poor in the offense, in the upcoming semi-final.
