Argentina defeated the Netherlands in penalty kicks following 120 minutes of scoreless soccer.

Argentina would go on to clinch the shootout 4-2 after not missing a single shot.

The championship match will take place on Sunday at 3/2c on ABC, with Argentina facing Germany. Brazil will face the Netherlands on Saturday at 4/3c on ESPN in the third-place match.
