Argentina’s dream of clinching a first World Cup since 1986 remains alive after Lionel Scaloni’s side overcame the Netherlands in a penalty shoot-out to seal their place in the semi-finals on a dramatic night at the Lusail Stadium, Qatar.
Lautaro Martinez stepped up to score the decisive penalty after Emiliano Martinez saved spot-kicks from Virgil van Dijk and Steven Berghuis. The two sides could not be separated after extra time at 2-2.
Argentina’s reward is a place in the last-four with Croatia, who earlier stunned Brazil.
