In the World Cup quarterfinal match between the teams of the Netherlands and Argentina, passions were boiling on the field.

The football players fought without sparing their strength and often made gross fouls or simply did not hold back their emotions.

It was counted that there were as many as 18 yellow cards and one red card shown in the match. In addition, 15 different players received yellow cards.

These are record-breaking stats in the history of World Cup championships.

The match was officiated by Spanish referee Antonio Mateu, who was criticized by Argentine forward Lionel Messi after the match, saying that FIFA should carefully select referees.
