There were also three early yellow cards - Stam and Numan for the Dutch, Chamot for Argentina. Tempers began to boil over during the second half: Numan received a second yellow for a challenge on Simeone, although there were Dutch protests that Simeone had made the most of it. Ortega lost his temper completely: only a minute after receiving a yellow card for a rough challenge, he headbutted Van der Sar and was sent off at once, reducing both sides to ten men. With extra time looming, Bergkamp received a long pass, controlled it superbly and scored in the last minute, to send the Dutch into the semi-finals. 1998 7 4 y 16:30 CEST (UTC+2) NED 1998 FIFA World Cup knockout stage#Netherlands vs Argentina 2–1 ARG 1861 Kluivert 12 Bergkamp 90 López 17 Stade Vélodrome, Marseille 55,000 Arturo Brizio Carter (Mexico) https://www.fifa.com/en/match-centre/match/17/1013/1025/8784 Netherlands vs Argentina Quarter-final 1998 FIFA World Cup France FIFA 1 May 2026 http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=1025/match=8784/index.html 1998 FIFA World Cup France – Matches – Netherlands v Argentina FIFA 1 May 2026 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20171213022414/http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=1025/match=8784/index.html 13 December 2017 http://www.france98.com/english/competition/matchstat8881.htm Match Statistics – 1/4 Final – Netherlands v Argentina Comité Français d'Organisation de la Coupe du Monde de Football 1998 4 July 1998 1 May 2026 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20010413211542/http://www.france98.com/english/competition/matchstat8881.htm 13 April 2001 _netherlands1998h _ned98 _netherlands1998h _netherlands1998h _ned98h D74600 D74600 D74600 FFFFFF F3460C Netherlands _arg98h _arg98 _arg98h _arg98h _arg98a FFFFFF FFFFFF FFFFFF 000000 000000 Argentina GK 1 Edwin van der SarRB 2 Michael ReizigerCB 3 Jaap Stam 10CB 4 Frank de Boer (c)LB 5 Arthur Numan 2 17 76CM 6 Wim JonkCM 16Edgar DavidsRW 7 Ronald de Boer 64LW 11Phillip CocuSS 8 Dennis BergkampCF 9 Patrick Kluivert Substitutes:FW 14Marc Overmars 64Manager:Guus Hiddink GK 1 Carlos RoaRB 22Javier ZanettiCB 2 Roberto AyalaCB 6 Roberto Sensini 60LB 3 José Chamot 22 89DM 5 Matías Almeyda 68CM 8 Diego Simeone (c)CM 11Juan Sebastián VerónAM 10Ariel Ortega 1 86 87SS 7Claudio LópezCF 9 Gabriel BatistutaSubstitutes:DF 4 Mauricio Pineda 68FW 18Abel Balbo 89Manager:Daniel Passarella Assistant referees: Owen Powell (Jamaica) Reynaldo Salinas (Honduras) Fourth official: Epifanio Gonzalez Chavez (Paraguay) Germany vs Croatia Germany initially had the better of the first half, forcing a couple of good saves from Ladic in the Croatian goal. However, the complexion of the match was changed when Christian Wörns was sent off in the 40th minute, for a rough tackle from behind. With Germany down to ten, Jarni scored to give Croatia the lead on the stroke of half-time: Vlaovic's shot from just outside the penalty area, and Suker's close-range shot in the 85th minute, gave Croatia a 3-0 victory. 1998 7 4 y 21:00 CEST (UTC+2) GER 1998 FIFA World Cup knockout stage#Germany vs Croatia 0–3 CRO Jarni 45+3 Vlaović 80 Šuker 85 Stade de Gerland, Lyon 39,100 Rune Pedersen
