Referee Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz has been widely slammed for his performance during Argentina's win over the Netherlands.
But it was the Spaniard who had the final say following the thrilling World Cup quarter-final clash. He dished out a staggering 17 yellow cards during the game and even in the penalty shootout, as well as awarding 48 fouls across the 120 minutes, plus stoppage time.
Lahoz has a reputation in LaLiga for his disciplined performances, something which he has seemingly brought with him to the World Cup. The fiery atmosphere of the game continued even after Lautaro Martinez has scored the winning penalty for Argentina.
