Attacks and counter-attacks had been gone well as the most spectacular features between the two teams, Netherlands and Argentina till the minute 75 when an Argentinean player shot from an assist into the net from the offside position, noticed by a lineman and thus refused by the referee.
Both teams had been performing well and neither team managed to make a goal through the official time of 90 minutes.
However, at the minute 90+1, the Orange shirts' Arjen Robben had a good opportunity with the ball at the very near position in front of the Argentinean goal line and goalie, but an Argentinean defender intercepted on time to clear and save his team.
Nevertheless, through the first 15 minutes of the additional time, Netherlands showed a bit of their superiority to their opponents, but both sides hadn't yet done anything to mark their win.
History seems to repeat itself -- Argentina to meet Germany at The Final once more -- as the match Netherlands playing Argentina at the semi-finals came to a close and the outcome had to be decided by the spot-kicks. And the official and final result was: Netherlands 2 - 4 Argentina.
The Final Event will see Argentina play Germany as once in the past when the Argentinean star Diego Maradona led his team to win FIFA World Cup Championship over Germany in 1986.
