Nicolas Tagliafico has admitted that more brawls could keep happening at the tail end of the Qatar World Cup ahead of Argentina's semi-final clash against Croatia on Tuesday.
The White and Sky Blue were involved in a feisty match-up against the Netherlands on Friday evening, with referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz issuing more than a dozen yellow cards and showing a red to Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries after the game ended. In all, 10 Argentina players and staff were given a booking during the contest, including manager Lionel Scaloni and coach Walter Samuel.
Scaloni's men ended up progressing into the last four thanks to a 4-3 win on penalties after the game finished 2-2 after extra-time. Virgil van Djik and Steven Bergwijn both missed from the spot to put Argentina in the driving seat, and although Enzo Fernandez squandered a chance to win the game with his side's fourth penalty, Lautaro Martinez sealed the victory with a confident spot-kick. It was a game filled with controversy and chaos.
