Ecuador ceded Copa America finals to Argentina after Lionel Messi teed up goals for Rodrigo De Paul and Laurtaro Martinez before shooting his own injury time free-kick to score a stunning personal performance.
Though competitive throughout, Ecuador then ended the game with 10 men after Pedro Hiscapie’s dismissal.
In the four matches Tuesday, the 14-time winners will play Colombia that beat Uruguay on penalties earlier in the day.
