FIFA WORLD CUP QATAR 2022: Netherlands 2-2 Argentina Highlight
Argentina vs Netherlands live: World Cup score, highlights, result from 2022 quarterfinal match
Argentina versus Netherlands is a classic World Cup clash, which has produced some indelible memories for two of the most talented and passionate football countries in the world. Friday’s 2022 quarterfinal in Qatar promises nothing short of the same.
Messi is on a quest for a first World Cup in his last career tournament, but the Dutch are on a 19-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. And their manager, Louis Van Gaal, hasn’t lost any of his 11 World Cup matches in charge of the Netherlands, who are seeking their first-ever men’s title (despite reaching three finals).
The last time these two nations met on the World Cup stage, it took a penalty shootout to decide a winner in a 2014 World Cup semifinal won by Messi and Argentina over Van Gaal’s Oranje. The two iconic figures face off again, this time with a spot in the semis on the line.
Neither team has truly sparkled thus far in this tournament. Messi has helped carry Argentina to the final eight despite some challenging moments, including a shock loss to Saudi Arabia and a late scare against Australia in the Round of 16. The Dutch have been criticized back home for uninspired play, despite winning three of their four matches thus far, including against the USA in the Round of 16

90th min+9: Weghorst gets a shove in the back from Otamendi and that is a dangerous free-kick to give away in the final seconds of the match…
