00:01Few anthems at this World Cup sung with quite the gusto of the Argentine Anthem.
00:06May the laurels be eternal that we were able to achieve.
00:10Let us live crowned in glory.
00:13And once again, in a rich World Cup tradition,
00:17that anthem of Argentina is followed by a handshake with the Netherlands.
00:23It has been the final. It has been the semi-final.
00:26And now for the second time, it is a quarter-final.
00:28This for the right to face Croatia in the semi-final here on Tuesday.
00:39And Alan, it just feels special.
00:46Craftily taken by Messi.
00:49Wiggling away from Ake and fiddling through a beautiful pass.
00:53It's a wonderful Argentina goal.
00:55Molina pounced.
00:58Messi cut them in half.
01:02And the rest was simple.
01:06Noel Molina with the breakthrough moment.
01:10The Albi Soleste shine.
01:19Driving beyond Dumfries.
01:21Who challenged.
01:23Penalty.
01:27Acuna still writhing.
01:29Dumfries glaring.
01:31Lionel Messi reaches out for more history as Argentina reach out for the World Cup semi-finals.
01:44They draw closer to the ultimate fulfilment.
01:48Well, made one, scored one.
01:52He's been at the centre of things yet again.
01:56People didn't really know what to do.
01:58The Dutch have dug back in.
02:11The Dutch have dug back in.
02:13Still retrievable.
02:15That is not an easy header.
02:17That is not an easy header.
02:22Coat Minus.
02:23Smart.
02:242-2.
02:25Extraordinary.
02:26101 minutes.
02:29Welk Weghorst.
02:33And the immediate future is still, is still orange.
02:41Brilliant from the Netherlands.
02:43Brilliant from Weghorst.
02:44That's the keeper unawares.
02:50Messi.
02:54Fernandes has hit the post.
02:57Oh, wow.
02:58What a pure strike of the football.
03:04And Epic, whose de normal is still to come.
03:12Oh, great save.
03:13That is a great save from Emi Martinez.
03:18Van Dijk gave it a thump.
03:25And Messi alters the call.
03:30Not many would have the bottle to do that.
03:33There's a lovely purity about this man's left boot.
03:37Birkhaus.
03:39Oh, another great get by Martinez.
03:43Why wouldn't he dance?
03:47An Epic.
03:49Now Toro Martinez.
03:51Argentina march on.
03:53They won it once.
04:00And then from the start, they won it all over again.
04:06Netherlands 2, Argentina 2.
04:09Argentina have it on penalties by 4-3.
04:12And you guys go out.
04:15I love what we did.
04:15You keep pushing.
04:16You keep pushing.
04:18Bye.
04:18Bye.
04:19Bye.
