Argentina defeated the Netherlands to clinch a semi-final spot with Croatia
Argentina and the Netherlands played out an extremely bad-tempered game which finished 2-2 after 90 minutes thanks to a dramatic late brace from substitute Wout Weghorst.
Argentina captain Lionel Messi, superbly set up Nahuel Molina for their first-half opener before converting a penalty kick to put his side on course to face Croatia for a place in the final.
But Weghorst’s header 10 minutes later sparked his side into life and he then forced an additional thirty minutes when he scrambled the ball home with only seconds left.
Heading into penalties, Van Dijk lost the opening spot kick as Argentina ran out 4-3 winners on a night of exciting football.
Argentina will now face Croatia in the semi-finals after they stunned Brazil on penalties earlier today.
