Argentina 2 (4) x (3) 2 England ● 1998 World Cup Extended Goals & Highlights + Penalties HD

12 years later, Argentines and Englishmen would meet again in a World Cup match, this time in the round of 16 (in 1986, they had faced each other in the quarterfinals, with Argentina's 2-1 victory).

After 5 minutes, Simeone appeared by surprise in the attack and was shot down by Seaman. Penalty that Batistuta took in the corner - the English goalkeeper touched the ball, but insufficient to prevent the goal. However, four minutes later and pushed by the crowd, England went on the attack with Owen, who, after receiving a pass from Scholes, dug a penalty when receiving a strike from Roberto Ayala. Shearer charged hard, with no chance for Carlos Roa, leveling the confrontation.

At 16 minutes, the most beautiful move of the match: after Paul Ince's tackle, who passed the ball to Beckham, Owen received a pass from shirt 7, dominated the ball with precision, got rid of José Chamot - who tried to unbalance the young striker , without success -, waddled over Ayala and kicked the Argentine goalkeeper. Owen's goal is considered one of the most beautiful in Cup history.

While Argentina struggled to overcome Ince, Tony Adams and Sol Campbell, Beckham called the responsibility for the offensive actions, as well as Scholes and Owen, who bothered Ayala and Chamot. At 46 minutes, it lacks the entrance to the area in favor of Argentina. Batistuta and Verón were in charge of the collection, which seemed to be rehearsed; "Batigol" went over the ball, "La Brujita" passed to Zanetti, who was alone behind the barrier, and kicked his left leg, shooting Seaman.

In the second half, the Argentines decided to "cook" the game, using the catimba to stir up the panache of the English. The English Team felt the pressure in the first minute: After taking a hit, Beckham struck back with a kick in the leg from Simeone, who pretended to have suffered an assault. Danish referee Kim Milton Nielsen fell in the Argentine's staging and showed Beckham a red card, reducing England to 10 players. The English fans disapproved of Beckham's attitude, which was severely criticized. In 2017, Simeone revealed how he caused the English expulsion, denying that he had been cursed by him.

Even with one player less, the English Team balanced the actions with Owen and Scholes in midfield, with Shearer isolated in the attack. Although with more possession of the ball, Argentina could not reach the goal with more objectivity, being neutralized by Campbell and Adams. Even the changes by Passarella (Hernán Crespo in place of Batistuta and Marcelo Gallardo replacing Claudio López) were not effective. Campbell even scored the third goal, which would give England the victory, but the referee preferred to annul, claiming that Shearer did not exist. After the move, Verón engaged a counterattack for Crespo, intercepted by Darren Anderton.

After an overtime without major attacking moves on both sides, Argentines and English would dispute a place in the quarter-finals. Sergio Berti opened the collection series. The midfielder took the corner, Seaman was on the ball, but did not stop the goal. Alan Shearer, in the same way as in normal time, converted the charge in the angle, giving Roa no chance.

Crespo was the first to waste the charge, spread by Seaman. Ince, one of the highlights in the midfield, also took the penalty in the left corner, but Roa spread it out. Verón converted the third penalty, at Seaman's right angle. Before Paul Merson's charge, Roa complained about the ball out of place, and got a yellow card. The Middlesbrough player kicked hard in the right corner, leveling the game. Gallardo converted the fourth kick by kicking hard in the same spot. Seaman was also on the ball, but failed to defend.

Owen leveled the match again, giving the Argentine goalkeeper no chance, taking the penalty from the right angle. Defender Ayala untied shortly after, charging low. David Batty would have the responsibility: if he wasted, Argentina would qualify for the quarter-finals; if it did, the decision would be on alternate charges. However, the Newcastle United midfielder, who had taken over from Scholes, lost the free kick, which ended up in Roa's hands.
