Qatar’s first World Cup quarterfinal match has been confirmed following today’s round of 16 matches.
The Netherlands vs Argentina will begin on Friday, December 9 at 7 pm (GMT).
Argentina saw off a 2-1 victory against Australia tonight thanks to a magical moment from Lionel Messi in his 1,000th career appearance and 100th time as captain of his national team. In what is expected to be his last World Cup, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will be adamant about lifting the lucrative trophy to seal his record-breaking list of honors.
The Netherlands beat the United States 3-1 thanks to goals from Memphis Depay, Daley Blind and Denzel Dumfries. A tactical masterclass from Louis van Gaal secured victory for his side despite having less possession and fewer shots on goal at the Khalifa International Stadium.
