BBC Review
Argentina got ten of the 18 yellow cards, while the rest went to the Netherlands.
Denzel Dumfries' red card was sparked by his altercation with the Argentinian players when Lautaro Martinez scored the winner in the penalty shoot-out.
"In total, 15 players on the pitch received a card. A new record for the World Cup," commented the BBC.
