Four saves in win
Martinez recorded four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Switzerland.
Analysis: Martinez made four saves across Saturday's 3-1 extra-time win over Switzerland, producing back-to-back stops from Dan Ndoye and Granit Xhaka during Switzerland's sustained pressure spell in the second half before Ndoye's third attempt from a tight angle found the net underneath his outstretched leg for the equalizer. The goalkeeper will aim to produce a strong performance in the World Cup semifinal against England.
Concedes two goals
Martinez registered no saves and allowed two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 victory versus Egypt.
Analysis: Martinez conceded two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Egypt, beaten by Yasser Ibrahim's powerful header from Marwan Attia's delivery in the first half and then by Mostafa Zico's close-range finish from Haissem Hassan's inch-perfect cross in the second half, with both goals coming from direct and well-constructed Egyptian moves that exposed Argentina's defensive vulnerability on the counter-attack. The goalkeeper commanded his area on the occasions his backline gave him protection, and while the two goals conceded will raise questions about defensive organization heading into the quarterfinals, his composure in the final stages helped his side hold firm during Egypt's late push for an equalizer after falling 3-2 behind.
