Argentina on the verge of setting up a semi-final against hosts Brazil.
Oof! That is going to be unmissable.
Giovani Lo Celso
That surely seals it for Argentina.
It is a horrible mistake by Venezuela goalkeeper Wuilker Farinez, spilling Sergio Aguero's shot which was straight at him allowing substitute Giovani Lo Celso to tap in to an open net from a couple of yards out.
That will be a relief to their fans, who were getting rather tense inside the Maracana.

A very stylish save indeed.
