(VIDEO) Watch: Netherlands vs Argentina 2-2 PEN ( 4-3) – All Gоals & Extеndеd Hіghlіghts FIFA World Cup 2022 HD:Messi-inspired Albiceleste into World Cup semifinal on penalties
After a thrilling match in Lusail, Argentina, lead Lionel Messi side held off a valiant comeback by the Netherlands to secure their position in the 2022 World Cup semifinals.
After their talismanic No. 10 converted a penalty to follow up on an outlandishly unbelievable assist for Nahuel Molina in the first 45 minutes, the Albiceleste appeared to be in trouble late in the second half.
However, the game took a new turn when Dutch substitute Wout Weghorst entered the fray and quickly headed in what at first seemed to be little more than a consolation goal.
The former Burnley striker forced extra time by tucking a finish home in the penultimate second of extra time after a brilliant free-kick routine that Argentina simply could not handle.
Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez pulled off two more spectacular saves in the penalty shotout as Argentina advanced into the semifinals.
They will now play Croatia there instead of their longtime rivals Brazil, after Zlatko Dalic’s team pulled off another shock in the day’s first game to advance via a shootout as well.
