120th: THE POST for Enzo Fernandez! Noppert was defeated!
120th: Final corner obtained by Messi… Di Maria tries it directly but Noppert is still there!
119th: Lautaro sends a minasse but Noppert boxes!
115th: Enzo Fernandez takes his chance at 20 meters, it’s countered and it goes just above! Argentina pushes
114th: VAN DIJK saves the Oranjes! Lautaro takes a cross and the Liverpool defender intervenes!
112′: Big mistake by Pezzella, who still does Albiceleste a good service because Gakpo went on goal
111th : Di Maria enters, Lisandro Martinez leaves
110th: Messi tries a little rolled up but it flies away!
110th: No matter who passes, Croatia seem above. You will have read it here first!
107th: Noppert captures the ball on this corner. With his size, he shouldn’t be bad at penalties, he
10:25 p.m .: Come on, end of this first extension! Another one but honestly, this case smells like penalties
104th: Otamendi not far from touching this free kick from Messi!
100th : Good free kick for the Oranjes, but it’s badly shot and badly played
98th : The Oranjes are now much better, much more impactful than the Argentines, who took a hit on the head
95th : This Berghuis is good! Since he came in, he’s been making quite a few differences on his left side
10:12 p.m .: Here we go again for 30 minutes of play (2×15)
10:05 p.m .: Head to the extension! What a crazy finish when we had been severely bored for 80 minutes!
90th+10: THE ORANJE EQUALIZATION! This is completely crazy ! They played the free kick with a small full axis pass for Weghorst who planted his double! 2-2!
90th+10: Last chance for the Netherlands! A new free kick full axis, 18-20 meters!
90th+7 : The Argentinian public sings…
90th+6 : Will the Oranjes have one more? For the moment, Otamendi is holding the barracks on the Argentinian side
90th + 1: Super free kick, full axis at 18 meters for the Oranjes … It’s in the wall!
90th: It will be… 10 MINUTES of added time!
88th: BUT PAREDES, how stupid he is! His fault is a scandal and behind, he sends the ball towards the Dutch bench! It just takes yellow instantly…
86th: This reduction in the score has completely revived the Dutch, who are now pushing when they were completely dropped
83rd: GOOOOOOOANJES! Weghorst sends an uncrossed header into Martinez’s net! 2-1
82nd : Lautaro and Tagliafico have just entered the Argentinian side
80th: This Argentina is diabolical… It didn’t take much for the Albiceleste tonight to lead 2-0. It’s not flamboyant but solid and applied. And the Dutch offer NOTHING
76th : Things are heating up between the two teams following a benign contact between Martinez and De Jong. Go hop, two yellow cards and everyone is calm
73rd: MESSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! The Argentinian genius sends into the small net, Noppert does not move and it is 2-0
71st: PENALTY for Argentina!!! Foul (dumb) of Dumfries on Acuna! Messi will obviously hit him (the penalty)
70th: Only 20 minutes left and the Netherlands really can’t do it… The Oranjes in no hurry (OK, I’m leaving)
67th : Paredes takes the place of De Paul on the Albiceleste side. To concrete?
64th: De Jong replaces Blind: the Oranjes go back to 4 behind
63rd: Just above! Messi’s free kick doesn’t find the target!
61st: Messi, Messi, Messi! The n°10 is in great shape this evening and has just hit full axis. Foul by Van Dijk, free kick well placed
59th: Oh the counter too badly managed by the Albiceleste! Mac Allister’s pass is too strong for De Paul and it ruins everything!
56th : It now goes much faster on the oranje side. But without being dangerous for the moment
50th : The Oranjes restart with rhythm. It changes !
9:07 p.m .: Here we go again! Bergwijn came off at the break, replaced by Berghuis. De Roon is replaced by Koopemeiners. No change on the Argentinian side
8:57 p.m .: See you in 5 minutes, friends!
8:51 p.m .: Come on, half-time! 1-0 for Argentina in a very closed match, only opened by the talent of Messi who delivered a marvelous pass for the opener.
45th+2 : Weghorst, who is on the bench (!), is also warned. It stretches!
45th+1 : Third good free kick for the Netherlands. It’s always well shot by Gakpo but Martinez takes it
45th : And hop a card for Romero, who spikes the ball with his hand! Weird as a gesture, it seems not to be done on purpose
42nd: Timber and Acuna warned. The Argentinian tapped Dumfries on the ankle and the Dutchman wanted to tell him his way of thinking
41st : Good free kick well placed for the Netherlands. Gakpo crosses, pileup in the box… and whistle, Dutch foul
35th: BUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTT FROM ARGENTINA! It starts from Messi, who accelerates full axis and gives a blind pass to Molina who will beat Noppert! Very nice and it’s 1-0 for the Albiceleste!
33′: Good shot from De Paul! It’s too easy for Noppert but the action was great!
31′: First yellow card… for an assistant to the Argentine coach. In this case Walter Samuel! Do you remember him? A defender passed by Roma if I am not saying stupidity.
28th : We are seriously bored, aren’t we? Frankly, the shock does not live up to its promises for now. Both teams don’t offer much.
24th: Bergwijn tries his luck! His shot is too crossed. Half an opportunity, nothing crazy yet!
20th: First corner for the Netherlands, obtained by Depay … it does not work
18th : Do Argentinians prefer counterattacks? The Albiceleste hardly presses the Oranjes, who rotate in their camp.
15th : This first quarter of an hour is in favor of the Argentinians, much sharper when they attack. The Oranjes are timid until then
11th: Acuna! Well shifted by Messi on the left, he is in the area but tries a strong cross completely missed. But knock!
10th: The Lusail stadium clearly pro-Albiceleste. Lots of Argentinian chants, you don’t hear or see the Dutch fans
8th : The Oranjes at a trot. They don’t take any risks at the moment, it’s even a bit winded
5th: First rush of Messi full axis. The little genius gives to the right but the center is imprecise
4th : Fernandez and Gakpo collide, nothing serious. It was involuntary.
3rd : Small round of observation for the moment, nothing crazy crazy to tell you But it will come eh!
It’s time for hymns and it’s already taking… We’re going to enjoy the Minutos!
Already 3 goals (in group) for the young striker of PSV Eindhoven, in great form since the start of the season (18 goals and 18 assists!). Will he be the detonator of this oranje attack?
The two teams have been in comparable form since the start of the World Cup. Finally, the rise in power is even more visible for the Albiceleste, beaten from the start by Saudi Arabia (1-2). She had to get up against Mexqiue (2-0), Poland (2-0) before shaking a little in front of Australia in 8th (2-1). The Oranjes, they hit Senegal from the start (2-0), suffered against Ecuador (1-1) before easily beating Qatar (2-0). In 8th, the United States were outclassed (3-1).
We start with the compositions, without Di Maria so on the Albiceleste side. Scaloni chose to strengthen his defense, fielding three centre-backs: Nicolas Otamendi, Cristian Romero and Lisandro Martinez. On the Oranje side, striker Steven Bergwijn was preferred to attacking midfielder Davy Klaasen.
Well yes, I prepared my match and I say good evening to you in Dutch and Spanish, the languages of this match. Who said we don’t work at 20 Minutes?
Here is a poster that smells of the high peaks in world Cup. Between Argentina and the Netherlands, it’s a long story and many memories, those of the Argentines’ first world title at home in 1978, of the 2014 semi-final which offered a world final to Messi at the end of the suspense, or the iconic goal of Bergkamp during the quarter in Marseille in 1998. In short, that heavy, and this new confrontation also promises. The Argentinians are still on a mission for their captain, while van Gaal’s Netherlands are advancing coldly but surely. A big suitor is going home tonight.
>> Because you don’t want to tell yourself tomorrow morning that you missed a moment of history, be there at 7:30 p.m. to follow this shock with us…
