Argentina went through after Maxi Rodriguez converted their fourth and decisive spot-kick to add to those converted by Lionel Messi (in pic), Ezequiel Garay and Sergio Aguero.

Penalties were required after the two sides were goalless after extra time, the first ever World Cup semi-final to produce no goals after 120 minutes.

The best Dutch opening fell to Arjen Robben in the closing stages, but his shot from a tight angle after a one-two with Sneijder was superbly blocked by Javier Mascherano.
