Argentina scored a dramatic 4-3 win over the Netherlands on penalties to enter the FIFA World Cup semifinals on Friday.
The Dutch came back from a two-goal deficit, thanks to a brace by substitute Wout Weghorst to force extra time. Emiliano Martinez was Argentina's hero in the shootout as he made a couple of saves.
Earlier, Nahuel Molina and Lionel Messi gave Argentina a 2-0 lead. Molina latched on to a pass from Messi to draw first blood in the 35th minute.
