The winner of the World Cup quarterfinal match between Argentina and the Netherlands teams was not determined during regular time and extra time.
The teams had to take 11 penalty kicks, and finally luck smiled on the South American team.
Even the Europeans' attempts to unsettle their opponents did not help them.
It was filmed how four Dutch players surrounded Lautaro Martinez who was going to take the decisive penalty kick, exchanging various words with the opponent.
This camera explains the anger. When Lautaro is about to shoot, they press him between four. The Dutch player who had already taken his shot says something to him and comes back. And the ending with everyone running to one side and Messi going to find Dibu is epic. The cameras can't run fast enough. pic.twitter.com/hx4ZhoZAGC

After the victory, Argentine defender Nicolas Otamendi also mentioned the unsportsmanlike behavior of the opponents:
“I celebrated in their faces because there was a player in their ranks who, at every penalty kick, went to our player and said certain words.”
