 * 1998 World Cup Round of 16 Argentina v. England
 * Goals are scored at 5' (Arg., pen.), 9' (Eng., pen), 16' (Eng.), 45+1' (Arg.) making it 2-2 at half-time although England's David Beckham gets a red card at 47' after being fouled by Diego Simeone. England hold their own with ten men in the second half and wit the game ending 2-2, the two teams face a dramatic penalty shoot-out. Paul Ince and David Batty fail to score for England, while Argentina miss only one and therefore go through. (see transfermarkt.com for full match stats)
