He was given the Golden Glove, a trophy given to the goalkeeper with the cleanest sheets, after the game.
He then held it in front of his groin and made a rude gesture as he walked back to join the rest of his team.
Emi Martinez is a very positive guy and told his team-mates he was going to save some penalties,
revealed Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni.
All of the BBC Sport commentators at the game agreed that Martinez’s tricks were a big reason why his team won.
There is no doubt he had a massive impact mentally in the shootout,
said former England midfielder Jermaine Jenas.
