After Argentina’s 4-3 shootout win over the Netherlands in the World Cup
quarterfinals at Lusail Stadium, Lionel Messi argued referee Antonio Mateu
Lahoz should not have been in charge. Dutch replacement Wout Weghorst
scored twice late in the game, including a last-gasp equaliser from a short
free-kick awarded when German Pezzella knocked over Weghorst, but Argentina
ultimately prevailed in a penalty shootout early on Saturday.
