Watch: Andres Cantor Nearly Loses His Voice Calling Marcos Rojo's Game-Winning Goal

Announcer Andres Cantor could barely catch his breath while yelling after Rojo's goal.

After Marcos Rojo scored the game-winning goal for Argentina, announcer Andres Cantor could barely catch his breath while yelling on TV.

Rojo drilled a volley from inside the box to give Argentina a 2-1 lead in the 86th minute of their group stage match against Nigeria on Tuesday. Fans could not believe what they had just witnessed from Rojo. They screamed, and some fans were even crying, as the camera panned around the stadium to take in the reactions from the stands. 

But Cantor stole the show on TV, as he repeatedly yelled his trademark "Goooooool!" while Argentina's side was celebrating on the field. Cantor yelled so much that it caused him to nearly lose his voice.

Argentina advanced to the round of 16 with their win over Nigeria. They will play France next.
