Argentina eventually beaten 2-1 following a VAR review after play was suspended with the score tied at 2-2. The decision ruling out the goal was delivered about two hours after play was suspended when the teams re-emerged on to the pitch to finish the match in an empty stadium.
The teams played for three minutes and 15 seconds after VAR completed its review and disallowed the goal. After order was restored in Saint-Etienne and the teams had left the field following the fan invasion, they discovered that the match had not been completed but suspended by officials.
The venue manager told Reuters the game had been interrupted, adding that a decision about whether the match would be completed was being discussed. The teams re-emerged just before 7pm local time (17:00 GMT) and warmed up a second time so the final minutes could be played.
