This was Garang Kuol's chance at the end of the game for Australia that nearly forced extra time...
This is a remarkable stat but Kuol has only played 388 minutes of senior football for club and country.

Most of the stadium is celebrating and singing, apart from that tiny pocket of yellow.

A step too far for Australia tonight. But they've played some great football in this World Cup and have really taken Ozzie football forward.
Marcus
Honestly think Van Gaal's tactics will stifle Argentina in the QFs. They will smother any flair from Messi and co.

Rio Ferdinand
Former England defender on BBC OneHow is he doing this? He is embarrassing players with his head up. He's taking people on and is able to see the whole pitch, where people are.
He is phenomenal.

Lionel Messi was very good but I wonder if Rio got a tad carried away there.

Rio Ferdinand
Former England defender on BBC OneThe best individual performance from a player at this World Cup.
It was almost God-like. I've not seen anything like this.

That would have been one of the great World Cup moments if Garang Kuol has scored there. He is joining Newcastle from Central Coast Mariners in January.
Kuol has only played 14 club games.

Pat Nevin
Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveBrilliant save by Martinez, he's come out and killed the angle. That's not a bad miss, that's a great save. Great goalkeeping. I didn't know if Australia would get another chance. They got it and they couldn't take it.

Argentina's defenders celebrated that save with Emiliano Martinez like he'd scored a goal.

The Australian dugout is disappointed. The euphoria of the Argentina players hugging Martinez.

It's all over.
Argentina play the Netherlands on Friday for a place in the World Cup semi-finals.
Australia gave it a good go there but they're out.

BBC Sport in QatarThe scarves are waving, the fans singing, the feet jumping.
Ahmad bin Ali is a cauldron of noise.
Now the whistles as the Argentine fans plead for the final whistle.
This is somehow very dramatic.... what a save!

Oh my. Australia teenager Garang Kuol almost sends it to extra time. He swivels in the box and he's free, 10 yards out, but his shot is saved by Emiliano Martinez, who made himself big.

Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveIn the last five minutes, maybe ten, Argentina have played like a team who can win the World Cup. When Messi has decided to turn it on, they have been fabulous.
