Argentina vs Netherlands has entered the second-half of extra time, after an extremely bad-tempered game 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.

The winner will face Croatia in the semi-finals after they stunned Brazil on penalties earlier today.
