Argentina 0-0 Colombia (5-4 on pens): Carlos Tevez hits winning spot kick after David Ospina kept Lionel Messi and Co at bay
Argentina advance to the semi-finals after a dramatic penalty shootout, the longest in Copa America history
Tevez climbed off the bench to decide the tie after his move back to Boca Juniors was confirmed
The shooutout began in straightforward fashion, with both sides scoring freely
But misses from Colombia's Luis Muriel and Argentina's Lucas Biglia forced it into sudden death
The next three penalties were either missed or saved, leaving Tevez to decide the tie
Ospina was in sensational form, making a first-half double save to repel Sergio Aguero and Messi
In the second half he somehow denied Nicolas Otamendi from a corner before Cristian Zapata cleared off the line
Minutes later Zapata dinked the ball over his own keeper to thwart Tevez but Jeison Murillo cleared the danger
A bad-tempered affair, Argentina were left bemused by the leniency of Mexican referee Garcia Orozco
