Argentina goalkeeping hero Emiliano Martinez was caught on camera yelling abuse at a Dutch opponent after his side's dramatic penalty shootout victory on Friday night.
Argentina had looked to be cruising to victory when goals from Nahuel Molina and Lionel Messi put them into a two-goal lead heading into the dying minutes. However, a late brace from Wout Weghorst took the game to extra-time, and then penalties were needed to separate the two sides.
It was left to Martinez to save two spot-kicks, as Argentina progressed to the semi-finals following a bad-tempered game that saw an astonishing 14 bookings over the course of 128 minutes – six for the Netherlands, eight for Argentina – plus a yellow card for Argentina assistant Walter Samuel and a red card for Denzel Dumfries.
