Argentina and the Netherlands face disciplinary action after being charged by FIFA following their fiery World Cup quarter-final clash.

The world governing body has confirmed proceedings have been opened against both sides after the last-eight contest eventually won by Argentina on penalties featured several flashpoints and a plethora of bookings.

Spanish referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz issued 18 yellows cards in total at the Lusail Stadium, including two - and therefore a red - for the Netherlands' Denzel Dumfries and two for Argentinian coaching staff.

There were two major confrontations in the game, both coming late in the regulation 90 minutes as the Netherlands fought back from 2-0 down to force extra-time.
