“We can complain a lot and say Argentina would have deserved something more. The game was complicated for us since the expulsion of Leo Astrada, but they are football situations, there those who needed glasses were the referees and assistants. Obviously it hurts. You want to eat raw but they are the rules of the game. Unfortunately there was no VAR – assistance to the referee by video – and those things define for one side or the other … the game had been even because we had better situations and more control. But they pushed because they had a great squad and they found that play and got to the instance they wanted and deserved through penalties “
