WOUT WEGHORST produced a dramatic late equaliser for the Netherlands to deny Argentina a place in the semi-final.
The striker tucked the ball into the far corner following a devilishly cheeky free-kick from Teun Koopmeiners.
The midfielder lined up a free-kick from around 20 yards out but tricked the Argentina defence by passing to Weghorst instead of shooting.
Under pressure from Enzo Fernandez Weghorst took a touch and fired off a shot as he lost his balance.
But the ball rolled past Emi Martinez and into the bottom corner to set up extra-time.
Substitute Weghorst had given the Dutch a lifeline when he headed in Steven Berghuis’ 83rd-minute cross.
The Netherlands then threw everyone forward and snatched an equaliser with seconds left on the clock.
Argentina appeared to be sailing through to the semi-final at ease after dominating for large spells.
Lionel Messi was at his best as he produced an exquisite pass to set up Nahuel Molina to score.
The superstar then doubled his side’s lead from the penalty spot mid-way through the seconds half but it was not enough to win the tie.
