France and Argentina survive the shootout line
One goalless tie and one stoppage-time thriller ended with France and Argentina advancing on penalties.
Two third-round ties reached penalties without the archive recording a shootout score.
France and Belgium finished 0–0, with France advancing. Argentina and England drew 2–2 after a match of four separate turns: Mario Cardozo put Argentina ahead after seven minutes, Jake Woolley equalised in the 22nd, Marcos Delfino restored Argentina’s lead in first-half stoppage time and Elliot Nicholas-French levelled in the second minute of second-half stoppage time. Argentina then progressed on penalties.
The known facts are dramatic enough without invented detail. France advanced from a goalless stalemate; Argentina survived an equaliser delivered at the edge of elimination. In both cases, the shootout decided the tie while leaving the regulation scoreline intact.
