Wow, just wow. After Argentina tied the game in the 16th minute of an extra 15 minutes of added time, and a brief moment of resumed play, the field was covered with bottles etc thrown from the stands. The security team was ordered to clear the stands and the teams sent to the locker rooms as game apparently over.
Then VAR (video review) looked at the goal and declared it offsides and the score reverted to 2-1. 2 hours after the game "ended" the teams were ordered back to the field to play five minutes additional and Argentina did not get an equalizer.
