The Benfica defender has been one of the best elements of the Copa América champion in the World Cup. The experienced defender showed his grit in the group stage and solvency in the round of 16, where he left a great postcard when he defended an aerial ball against the tallest element of the Australians.

In the complementary stage, seeking to achieve equality, Harry Souttar, defender of Australia, turned to the attack to try to surprise Argentina through the aerial game. However, the 1.98 meter height was not enough to avoid the defense of Otamendi, who was a wall in the round of 16.

Argentina and the record against the Netherlands:

Argentina and the Netherlands will meet for the sixth time in the history of the World Cups. In total, the Dutch achieved two wins, against two for the Albiceleste (final of the 1998 World Cup and semifinals in Brazil 2014).
