Hero Argentina keeper Emiliano Martinez faces World Cup ban for slamming 'worst ref in world' after Holland win

Both Holland and Argentina are set for heavy Fifa fines as the aftermath of the “Battle of Lusail’ rumbles on. Aston Villa keeper Martinez lost his cool with Antonio Mateu Lahoz despite his shoot-out heroics.

Fifa's disciplinary committee has launched an investigation into the referee's match report. FIFA Disciplinary Committee has opened proceedings against the Argentinian Football Association and the Dutch Football association. Referee Lahoz issued 18 yellow cards to players and at least two to benches during the match. The card count exceeded the previous World Cup record of 16. Emiliano Martinez could be punished for his comments about the ref.
