Argentina Vs Croatia | WATCH

After overcoming the drama of penalty shoot-out victories in their respective quarter-final ties, Argentina and Croatia face each other in the first World Cup 2022 semi-final on Tuesday at the Lusail Stadium, knowing a place in the title match is at stake.

Argentina made a faltering start to their latest quest for a first World Cup trophy since the days of Diego Maradona, as they became the subject of a historic scalp at the hands of tournament minnows Saudi Arabia in their 2022 World Cup opener. However, La Albiceleste have bounced back in style since and now find themselves on the cusp of the final after many had written them off after only matchday one.

After beating Mexico and Poland to top Group C, they eliminated Australia in the round of 16 before claiming a dramatic quarterfinal victory over the Netherlands last time out in what turned out to be a World Cup classic. Despite having a two-goal lead against the Dutch with less than 10 minutes remaining on the clock, Lionel Scaloni's side went into self-destruct mode before weathering the extra-time to emerge victorious in the subsequent penalty shootout 4-3 thanks to spirited goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez's superb heroics in goal.
