28th minute of the second half at the Mané Garrincha stadium in Brasilia.
Argentina and Colombia draw 1-1 and the second semifinal of the Copa América heads to penalties.
La Albiceleste need to wake up and score 2-1 to secure a place in the final against Brazil, a chance to win the tournament at Maracana and shake off a 28-year-old mufa.
At that moment of total nervousness, the play was made that had as protagonists Ángel Di María, Lautaro Martínez ... and Rodolfo De Paoli.
The journalist, who is in charge of giving voice and heart to the
TyC Sports
broadcasts
, was carried away by the anguish of the moment and could not contain the frustration when he saw how the PSG crack and the Inter striker squandered the clearest play of a very close and fought match in which Scaloni's men never looked comfortable on the pitch.
For those who do not remember the chance of scoring (it usually happens when the result ends up being favorable, but ask Higuaín, Palacio and a thousand examples), Di María took advantage of a loss in the rival field and was fired at speed, dodging a crazy closing of the goalkeeper Ospina , which was knocked out 30 meters from the arc.
The ball was left to Fideo's right, so he decided to settle in and hand it over to Martínez, who fired without looking and Wilmar Barrios cleared the line.
The rebound fell to Angelito, who screwed up something uncomfortable.
A while later, the hands of Emidra Martínez turned that unusual goal chance into an anecdote.
Lautaro Martínez missed a clear chance but he was the one who opened the scoring against Colombia and kicked his penalty very well.

De Paoli, who is also a coach and worked in several football teams of promotion, was prey to a moment of tension in which an inch or a pause defined the future of the National Team in the tournament.
How was your account of that peak moment of the game between Argentina and Colombia?
"He was wrong, he gave it away, Ospina went wrong ...", he started announcing, euphoric because a bad pass from Muñoz left Fideo alone with the free goal.
"Di María has the goal, hook, aim, shoot ... There goes Lautaro ... On the line, Di María, noooo!", Summarized Rodo.
And then he gave way to the fight: "Noooo, I can't believe you, no, no, no ... No, fuck this ... The goal that Argentina just lost, with what it costs, brother ... Before it was Pipa, Pipa, now it's you, Fideo, stop blowing my balls, brother ... We can't make a mistake about this ... Unusual goal that Argentina lost, incredible goal that Argentina lost ... ".
In his lament he also included the aforementioned Higuaín, a victim of selective memory in football.
Former footballer Hernán Lombardi, De Paoli's partner in his role as commentator, analyzed with greater coldness the play that the Argentine footballers wasted.
And then came the penalties, the draws saved and the renewed dream of raising the glass before the eyes of Neymar and company.
End of subject?
Of course not.
A shame about Rodolfo De Paoli, total lack of professionalism.

In the networks they did not let De Paoli pass, and his name became a trend on Twitter when they only talked about Draw, Messi and their crosses with Colombian footballers.
And surprisingly, among those who expressed their rejection of the journalist, a former Boca, the goalkeeper
Guillermo Sara
, appeared in Atlético Rafaela and passed through Lanús and Real Betis of Spain.
"The comments of the T&C rapporteur are unpresentable, I don't even want to call him a jerk !!!", wrote Sara, who won 4 titles with the xeneize club between 2015 and 2018. Her observation began to fill with "I like" and " RT ", something frequent in this type of situation.
Although many followers only worried about who had more responsibility in the failed definition, if Lautaro or Di María.
Football, networks and controversy, the usual before each game.
Guillermo Sara's message, viralized on the networks.
