Argentina were winning 2-1 when the incident happened, but the Netherlands ended up taking the game to extra time in the final minute of injury time strike from Wout Weghorst. There was another clash between players after full time, with Nicolas Otamendi handed the 12th yellow card of the game. More to follow.
