Video: Arsenal Keeper Makes Incredible Double Save To Deny Messi

It's been a thrilling Copa America so far, and last night's action was no different. Argentina were heavily fancied against World Cup quarter-finalists Columbia when the two sides met in the third quarter final.

There was plenty of Premier League representation in the game, but it was one apparently outgoing Premier League player who stole the limelight.

David Ospina's time at Arsenal looks like it's coming to an end after the Gunner's pursuit of Petr Cech. The Columbian goalkeeper firmly put himself in the shop window with a man of the match display against the World Cup runners up.

Central to Ospina's performance was the incredible double save in the 25th minute. Ospina first stuck out a leg going the wrong way to deny Aguero, before using his agility to claw Messi's goalbound header away.

Ospina kept the score down, and the game went to penalties after a 0-0 draw. Unfortunately for the Columbians, they lost in sudden death, with Carlos Tevez scoring the winning spot kick.

Argentina will now face the winners of Brazil and Paraguay in the semi-finals, while Chile face Peru.
