The first half was without any great chances created. The teams started studying each other in midfield, arguing and getting high grades. Gradually, opportunities appeared, but the main one happened only in the final stretch.

In the 34th minute, Messi made a sensational pass into central defense and Molina hit the goalkeeper’s exit, opening the scoring for Argentina. The Netherlands didn’t find the way for good shots on goal, nor a one-on-one with Martínez.

When the break returned, the duel was even. Lionel Messi comes close to the target with a free kick. In the 25th minute Acuña was brought down in the area by Dumfries and the referee conceded a penalty. At the charge, Messi converted and opened up the lead on the scoreboard.

With seven minutes remaining in the match, having crossed the area, Weghorst took advantage of the failure of the Argentine defense and reduced it to the Netherlands. Eventually, there was a scuffle after Paredes kicked the ball into the Dutch dugout, but there was no sending-off.

In the last minute, with a move tried ”from the area”, in a frontal foul, where you usually hit directly, Holland touched the ball in the area and Weghorst equalized the match, taking it to extra time.
