Argentina vs. Paraguay: Goals, Highlights from Copa America Semi-Final

Sean SwabyJun 30, 2015

Manchester United man Marcos Rojo provided the breakthrough in Argentina's Copa America semi-final clash against Paraguay on Tuesday night. 

Lionel Messi's free-kick was swung into the box, and after Paraguay couldn't clear it, it fell to the full-back's feet to put it away and give the Argentinians a 1-0 lead. 

Argentina quickly doubled their lead, again with Messi on the assist, setting up PSG's Javier Pastore to make it 2-0. 

Lucas Barrios, born in Argentina, fired to pull one back for Paraguay just before half-time. 

Angel Di Maria scored shortly after the half to improve the lead to 3-1. 

A dizzying run from Lionel Messi set up Di Maria's brace and all but put Argentina into the Copa America final. 

Sergio Aguero ensured the match would be a rout with Argentina's fifth goal. 

And Gonzalo Higuain added insult to Paraguayan injury with their sixth of the night. 

Argentina now face hosts Chile in the Copa America final on Saturday night.
