Although Palacios didn’t get onto the pitch in Houston, Hincapie again started and played the whole game. Lisandro Martinez had headed the World Cup holders in front in the first half. Enner Valencia struck the post with a penalty for Ecuador in the 62nd minute, but Kevin Rodriguez did find an equaliser in the first minute of added time.
There was no extra-time as the tie went straight to penalties. Lionel Messi missed Argentina’s first attempt, but Ecuador failed to take advantage and were beaten 4-2 from the spot.
Palacios and his country will play their semi-final on Tuesday, 9 July in East Rutherford, New Jersey against either Venezuela or Canada.

“As far as mentality and determination are concerned, we have nothing to reproach ourselves for,” Robert Andrich said up after the first home defeat for the Werkself this term. In terms of their play, too, the Black and Reds put in a respectable performance for long stretches of this intense and physical match, outperforming VfB Stuttgart in most areas. It was only in terms of efficiency in front of goal that the Swabians had the edge over the Werkself. Head coach Carles Martínez wants to learn from this so that, in future, they can “win this sort of match too”. The Werkself review.
