Netherlands Vs Argentina (World Cup quarterfinal 2022)

The 2022 FIFA World Cup is back with a set of quarterfinal matches this week. On Friday, at the Lusail Stadium, the Netherlands takes on Lionel Scaloni’s Argentina team.

Argentina will be determined to capitalize on their momentum ahead of a crucial week after a commendable comeback from their opening-game loss to Saudi Arabia.

In the round of 16, the Albiceleste defeated Australia by a narrow margin of 2-1, so they will be upbeat going into this match. The Netherlands has also performed admirably thus far at the World Cup, and they have the potential to challenge the tournament’s best players.

In their previous match, the Oranje defeated the USA by a score of 3-1, and they will try to achieve a similar outcome this week.

In Lusail stadium the kickoff between Argentina and the Netherlands sarted.

Lionel Messi-inspired Argentina saw off a spirited Netherlands fightback to book their place in the semifinals of the 2022 World Cup after a thrilling contest.

The Albiceleste looked home and hosed late in the second half after their talismanic No.10 dispatched a penalty to follow up a barely believable assist for Nahuel Molina in the opening 45 minutes.

But the course of the game changed when substitute Wout Weghorst entered the action for the Dutch and soon headed home what initially appeared to be little more than a consolation goal.

Argentina simply could not handle the former Burnley striker's physicality, and he sent the game to extra time by poking a finish home in the final minute of time added on after a genius free-kick routine.

However, that ultimately only delayed the Netherlands' misery, with goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez producing more penalty heroics to save twice and send Argentina into the last four.

They will now face Croatia there rather than old rivals Brazil, after Zlatko Dalic's side produced yet another shock in the day's earlier game to also go through via a shootout.
