Scotland players are dejected after their 3-3 draw with Argentina

Paris: Florencia Bonsegundo converted a re-taken penalty in stoppage time as Argentina came from three goals down to draw 3-3 with Scotland, a result that eliminated the Scots and gave the South Americans a slim hopes of advancing in the Women's World Cup. Victory would have put Argentina through, the draw meant that they will need freakish results in the last two groups to go through as one of the best third-place finishers. The final minutes of the game left both sides complaining about VAR. In spite of the time taken over two reviews, there was very little added time.

"Experience has taught me not to protest or argue with the decisions of the referee," Carlos Borrello the Argentina coach said. "Four of five minutes were lost." "I'm left with a bitter taste," he said. "I think if the game had lasted a little longer we could have won." Scotland have conceded a penalty in all three of their games. "We feel hard done by in the three games weve played VAR's been used and we've been very unlucky," said Scotland coach Shelley Kerr. Kim Little, Jen Beattie and Erin Cuthbert put Scotland 3-0 up after 69 minutes. Cuthbert was voted player of the match. "The player of the match is no consolation," she said.
