Netherlands and Argentina meet in a hotly-anticipated 2022 World Cup quarter-final in Qatar.
The Dutch are bidding to win the World Cup for the first time, having lost in the final on three occasions, including to Argentina in 1978.
Argentina are two-time champions and are aiming for another victory in what will probably be Lionel Messi's final World Cup.
Netherlands beat USA 3-1 in the last 16, while Argentina saw off Australia 2-1.
With Croatia beating Brazil on penalties in the first quarter-final, the World Cup continues to surprise with upsets and late drama, and the winner of the World Cup quarter-final between Argentina and the Netherlands will face Croatia in the semi-final.
And Lionel Messi provided a stunning first-half assist to give Argentina the lead as Nahuel Molina slotted home.
Messi doubled Argentina's lead from the penalty spot before Wout Weghorst pulled one back for the Dutch.
Then in the 12th minute of time added on, an incredibly smart free-kick saw Weghorst poke the ball past Emiliano Martinez to force extra time in dramatic fashion. You can see how that unfolds with our live coverage.

Head-to-head: Dutch look to avenge 2014 loss
Netherlands and Argentina have met in some big World Cup games.
In 1978 they faced off in the final in Buenos Aires and Argentina won 3-1 to claim their first title. In 1998 they played in the quarter-finals and Dennis Bergkamp's brilliance won it late for Netherlands. Most recently they clashed in the 2014 semi-finals and Argentina scraped through on penalties.
Who will emerge victorious this time?
Netherlands head coach Louis van Gaal has suggested he has a plan to stop Lionel Messi, who has scored three goals in Qatar as he bids to win the World Cup for the first time. Cody Gakpo has been the standout player for the Dutch so far with three goals, but they have been boosted by the return of Memphis Depay from injury.
The Barcelona forward made his first start of the tournament in the final group game against Qatar and then netted in the last 16 against the USA.
There is some added spice to the match after Argentina's Angel Di Maria criticised Van Gaal for his treatment during their time together at Manchester United, to which the Dutchman responded in hilarious fashion.
