Argentina captain Lionel Messi has questioned the appointment of Antonio Mateu Lahoz as referee for his team's World Cup game against the Netherlands.
Messi set up Nahuel Molina's opener and scored himself from the penalty spot as Argentina entered the final 10 minutes of regular time with a two-goal lead. A double from Wout Weghorst forced extra time, with his equaliser coming in the 11th minute of stoppage time, but Argentina still prevailed after two Emi Martinez saves in a penalty shoot-out.
That was only part of the story, though, with card-happy official Mateu Lahoz issuing some 15 yellow cards. There was also a red shown to Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries as tempers flared after the final whistle, and Messi has spoken out about the Spanish official.
