ETEMADONLINE| Scotland crashed out of the World Cup in dramatic style after throwing away a three-goal lead against Argentina.
They looked to be cruising to victory until a five-minute capitulation saw Milagros Menéndez score and goalkeeper Lee Alexander deflect the ball into her own net to put Shelley Kerr's side on the brink of disaster.
In added time Florencia Bonsegundo pushed Scotland over the edge from the spot. Alexander thought she had saved Scotland with a fine stop but the penalty was ordered to be retaken after intervention by the VAR.

Since Scotland's men first took part in a World Cup in 1954, their history in the tournament has been filled with hope, followed by heartbreak. Progress for the women's team seemed a very real proposition here, as they led Argentina by two goals with 11 minutes of normal time left, and by one going into added time.
This was not just another Scotland team that was not good enough. This was a team that had come closer than many would have even dreamed.
But they were merely left with disappointment, with questions and with anger, and a new page in Scotland's unhappy World Cup book.
