Messi followed and made no mistake before Martinez saved again from Berghuis. This time there was no way back for the Dutch as, even despite a miss from Fernandez, Argentina held on to win the shoot-out and head into the semi-finals. Lautaro then forced a diving save out of Noppert and Messi screwed a shot wide and only the post kept out a long-range drive from Fernandez. The Lusail Stadium felt like home for Argentina with at least three quarters of the 88,235 crowd backing the South American team and only a smattering of orange shirts in the crowd. Just hours after Brazil and Neymar crashed out of the tournament on penalties to the Croats, Argentina survived to keep South American interest in the competition. Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was the hero in the shootout after the South Americans let a two-goal lead slip in the final minutes of normal time after Lionel Messi had put them on the brink of the last four.

He's one of those players who if you give him a brick he'll build a house with it, but there are other players in the Argentina side." "He took that last penalty and it's one of the best I've seen in the history of penalties. "The pressure is heaped on and Lautaro ends up losing his place in the side. When he converted from the penalty spot with his right, Weghorst completed a perfect hat-trick of sorts - but it all proved to be in vain. From the moment that Martinez saved brilliantly to his right to deny Virgil van Dijk with the first kick, Argentina had the advantage. The Argentina fans need to find their voice in the semi-finals as they played a huge part in this victory." When Brazil got to the final in 2002 against Germany, an opinion poll in Argentina revealed that more Argentines were supporting Brazil than Germany. Earlier in the day, Brazil had appeared devastated to find themselves in a penalty shootout. "When the referee did the coin toss to choose which side we had the shootout at, there was even a tetchiness then. "A lot of joy, a lot of happiness. That is why I asked the players to take a penalty at their club, they all did.

The Netherlands are out of the World Cup after a penalty shootout loss to Argentina. Michael Bell provides his player ratings for the Netherlands players.

Frenkie de Jong 7/10: A tireless performance from the midfielder, who tracked Messi at times. Looked like a player short of match fitness and was rightly substituted. Jurrien Timber 6/10: Went forward with some nice dribbles and defended well. Daley Blind 4/10: His 99th cap in Oranje was not smooth. Virgil van Dijk 6/10: The leader at the back, Van Dijk defended well at times but could not help Oranje build from the back. Sadly he was not a penalty stopper, while his opposite number was.
