    To think... this is the Dutch. The total football merchants. And they've rescued their World Cup dream by playing like prime Wimbledon.

    That free-kick, though. Does that take some guts or what?!

    It's kicked off again!

    The two benches empty and there are players squared up. Argentina aren't happy, as you'd imagine. The Netherlands lads have a bit of energy to release too, as you'd expect.

    Bonkers. Brilliant too, mind.

    Weghorst to the rescue!

    Argentina had it won. Then, with seconds to go, they didn't.

    We go to extra-time. Extraordinary.

    GOAL - Netherlands 2-2 Argentinapublished at 90+10 mins

    Wout Weghorst

    AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

    The absolute stones on them! The cheek of it!

    Steven Berghuis shapes to shoot, but instead rolls a low pass into the mixer and there is Wout Weghorst, the big man, the saviour, to turn and roll in a low shot.

    Bedlam. Absolute bedlam!

    It will be Cody Gakpo taking this for sure.

    This is it. Now or never.

    The Netherlands have a free-kick 20 yards from goal after a clumsy foul from German Pezzella.

    One kick to stay in the World Cup...

    Everyone is forward now for the Dutch.

    It is last chance saloon.

    Martin Keown

    Leandro Paredes is celebrating like he has scored a goal just for getting a free-kick to relieve some pressure on his team. Argentina have just run out of steam.

    Leandro Paredes is fouled on halfway and celebrates with a team-mate. There are two minutes to go and crucially the ball is in the dutch half.

    Sam: Messi aside, this Argentina side have got to rank as one of the most unlikable sides? I don’t know how Paredes hasn’t been sent off, and that Berghuis booking was scandalous

    Probably not the time, but did Lautaro Martinez get a hair transplant from a rocking horse?

    It remains a long ball fest from the Netherlands but they've not created much since their goal. Time ticks away.

    Great header from Nicolas Otamendi. He is under huge pressure but he times his jump superbly and heads clear despite a nudge from Luuk de Jong.

    We've had five of the added 10. There is an urgency across the pitch we haven't seen at any other stage of the game.

    Cody Gakpo has got his hands on his heads. Looks like he thought he was taking that.

    Steven Berghuis hits it but right into the wall!

    The Argentine fans cheer in relief, but they've got more to come yet.

    Here are all the crosses Netherlands have fired in today - the assist for Weghorst in gold.

    Expect plenty more in the next 10 minutes.

    The Dutch players are queuing up to take this free-kick.

    Now then.

    The Netherlands have a free-kick on the edge of the Argentine box. Emi Martinez on red alert...

    TEN minutes of added time.

    Strap in.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 90 mins

    Netherlands 1-2 Argentina

    Leandro Paredes is rightly booked.

    Nathan Ake has been too. Not sure why?

    The ref has never really had control of this, no matter how many times he has blown his whistle.
