Lionel Scaloni's side went 2-0 up heading into the final stages of the match thanks to two pieces of Lionel Messi brilliance. First he set up Nahuel Molina's opener, and then slotted home a second-half penalty.
The Dutch fought back, though, with substitute Wout Weghorst planting a header past Emiliano Martinez in the 83rd minute before finishing off a perfectly planned free-kick routine in the 90+11th minute to score a well-deserved equaliser.
