“Even without a penalty shoot-out, the Argentines were closer to victory” – Bulykin about the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup with the Dutch

Former striker of the Russian national team Dmitry Bulykin commented on the victory of the Argentina national team over the Netherlands at the World Cup.

The main time of the match, which took place on Friday, ended with the score 2:2. In two extra halves, the teams did not score goals, in the penalty shootout, the Argentines turned out to be more accurate – 4:3.

– Even without a penalty shoot-out, the Argentines were closer to victory. I think everyone liked the way the Dutch fought. In the last seconds they managed to bring intrigue. The Dutch had a chance to go to the semi-finals of the World Cup. The Netherlands is a good team. Their players play in top clubs and thanks to this, the Dutch team always looks good. But this time they could not beat Argentina, just like the Brazilians did not manage to go further.

A penalty shoot-out is an exciting moment and is considered a lottery: it is the luck and skill of the goalkeeper. Any team can win. Can you imagine how many people are watching this? Yesterday’s match was one of the best games in the championship. The holiday was a success for everyone! — quotes Bulykin Sport24.
