Argentina vs England 2-2 (Pens 4:3) Highlights & Goals - 1998 WC Round of 16 | Classic Match HD

Batistuta is to this team what Kempes was in the 19th century on whom so very much now rests. Antigaleado is Ariel Ortega's understudy. And this for purists is I suppose where Argentina by virtue of winning their group were able to choose their colours. Lopez with Varón to his left and Batistuta won 11 of their last 12 internationals. And it's nearly 12. Tackle came in and it was a decent one but here's Shearer. It was Lasso who drove it across. Lasso, Batistuta and Simeone and down he goes it's a penalty. Seaman penalised and Simeone has gone to the referee and asked for a card to be issued and he has, it's yellow. Well it looked as if there was con. It is going to be Gabriel Batistuta. And Seaman got a hand to it but couldn't keep it out. Argentina have the lead after barely five and a half minutes. Well it's a nightmare scenario for England. David Seaman going the right way. It's the sort of height where perhaps goalkeeper could just tarm it away. But the number 10 who plays behind the front two is the problem for England who does pick. Stats of free kicks which some officials have done. Chamot on the out of space and two to his right. This is Michael Owen, he goes down and that's a penalty. Two penalties awarded in the space of three and a half minutes and England have the immediate chance to draw. Will England need it now? It's Shearer and it's 1-1. Calmness personified. Not a hint of self-doubt and despair is replaced swiftly by joy. Lopez conceded a goal too. It's been pursued by Lopez. Simeone. Park with the header away. Tega. Chamot trying not to bring him down. It's still Michael Owen! He's scored a wonderful goal! Is there nothing beyond this 18-year-old? Everyone off the bench and what a moment for the teenager. And for England. From one down to two one up and still we've played barely quarter of an hour. Paul Ince. Well struck! Fez back to Veron. Paul's just arriving. And here is Paul's goals. Tega. Still going by Divac and Ince. Along towards Simeone. He was doing Suter ahead of Zanetti. Zanetti scored a cracking goal and he only to his left. Simeone. Pushed over by Sol Campbell. So powerful Sol Campbell sometimes that he just brushed. That's an Argentinian or two. And this is Batistuta. Divas. Lopez. So has continued his run on this near flank. Batistuta prospective. Shearer to the left. Owen going himself. Deflected and a corner. Spun off Divas the number 14. Strange really plays his football and Batistuta's making good progress. Lopez on the far side. John for Owen. He was bought. He was swung in by David Beckham. And on the stretch it was Anderton. Lopez. Good turn well. That put his own man Simeone. Good way to retrieve it. By Batistuta at full stretch. Shearer's flick. And here's Paul's goals arriving. What a good chance. And how good a chance it was is only just dawning on the young man from Salford. Once again Alan Adams. Two sets of legs. Batistuta. Still Batistuta. Campbell made an effort to clear. And simply presented it back to the Argentinian striker. Shearer tried to stop it. But still he goes on. Simeone's ball. Lopez. Great. Cleverly worked it. Zanetti. And it's 2-2. All that work in training. And no wonder they go first to the coach Pasarela. Because presumably it was his very clever idea. Twice. Once quite wonderfully by Michael Owen. We've seen a penalty of two. No changes in personnel. No change if you please. I think it's. Support him. Simeone is booked. And a ready. I mean Simeone and Becker. One thing must have been said as well. Here's Shearer. Concerned with after the incident was Simeone. There was nothing in it. Ortega. And Batistuta. There was no flag. Here is Shearer. Well placed. Good save by Roa. Going to his left. With a good job. Lopez. Outside. Here. Simeone. Adams thought about a challenge. This is Lopez. Well it took a nick on the way through. Because a corner has been given. The serve. Lopez. Campbell couldn't really make the challenge fully. And it was Alan Shearer. Who kicked away from underneath his own crossbar. There is captaincy at this place. I'm not quite sure what he was late in running there. Still the danger isn't away. And now it should be with Gary Nett. Batistuta and Lopez ahead of him. Coming up on his shoulder. Anderson. Good control. Geron. To Galliardo. And Crespo is offside. Finding it difficult to be quite as effective. Back into. In the face of Paul Scholes. In the back of whose mind must still be that Campbell is waiting again. Anderson's kick. There is salt Campbell. Geron. It's going to be decided by penalties. Ball. Penalty kicks. Bertie. Ideally placed. In normal time. Can he do it again? He can. There's an excellent replay. Just wondered. Reserve. Centre forward. Now in the limelight. And saved by Simeone. The plunge to the left. And it's a replica save. By Rohr. Same. He had the shaven head. Ideal penalty. Simeone dived. Ball went into the roof of the net. Seem to be precisely on the spot. It seems to be in front of the spot. But this is Paul Merson. And the goalkeeper got a hand to it. But Merson scores. Well, that was one of the longest penalties itself. Oh, nearly. Simeone guessed right. Don't change your luck now. It's Owen. And it's in. 3-3. It's not a regular penalty taker. Oh, and it wasn't the best of penalties. But still it was enough to beat the England goalkeeper. Exactly what's going through Batty's mind. Don't join them. It's Batty. And he has joined them. And England again are out of the World Cup on penalties. It's extraordinary.
