Scores one goal off bench
Martinez scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Switzerland. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 98th minute.
Analysis: Martinez registered one goal and two shots (one on target) across his 35 minutes in Saturday's 3-1 extra-time win over Switzerland, converting the rebound in the 120th minute after Thiago Almada's drive into the area was denied by Gregor Kobel, with the ball falling kindly into the path of the Inter Milan striker for an empty-net finish that ended Switzerland's World Cup campaign with seconds remaining. The striker now has two World Cup goals at this tournament and his ability to deliver decisive contributions from the bench in the closing stages of knockout matches has become one of Argentina's most reliable weapons heading into the England semi-final.
Delivers one assist off bench
Martinez assisted once to go with three shots (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-2 victory against Egypt.
Analysis: Martinez registered one assist, three shots and one accurate cross across his 24 minutes in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Egypt, delivering the precise cross to the back post that Enzo Fernandez headed home for the 92nd-minute winner that sent Argentina into the quarterfinals. The Inter Milan striker also forced Mostafa Shobeir into a save shortly after coming on and was the most dangerous individual player on the pitch in the closing stages that will give coach Lionel Scaloni a genuine selection decision heading into the quarterfinal against Switzerland.
