Dutch right-back Denzel Dumfries was sent off after picking up two bookings.

FIFA says its disciplinary committee had opened proceedings against Argentina "due to potential breaches of articles 12 (misconduct of players and officials) and 16 (order and security at matches)".

They adds the disciplinary committee has opened proceedings against the Dutch Football Association due to potential breaches of article 12 of the FIFA disciplinary code in relation to the same match."

Meanwhile, in semi finals Argentina will take on Croatia at 7am on Wednesday while France takes on Morocco at 7am on Thursday.
