Lionel Messi Disappointed Not Score Against Colombia

Messi's only goal of the competition came from the penalty spot in Argentina's 2-2 draw with Paraguay in their opening group game.

The FC Barcelona superstar squandered a couple chances against Colombia in their quarterfinal win, although goalkeeper David Ospina put in a fine individual display.

However, the Argentine skipper was just happy to see his side progress to the semi-final where they could potentially face Brazil, who take on Venezuela on Saturday night.

"It's terrible what it costs me to score a goal for the national team," Messi said after the game.

"Today I had two very clear chances and I could not score.

"But the important thing is that the team produced a great match and, although it was on penalties, we deserved to progress."
