Argentina will play Germany in Sunday's World Cup final after beating the Netherlands on penalties in a drab semi-final in Sao Paulo.
Chances were rare during a forgettable 120 minutes, Argentina's Gonzalo Higuain poking the best opportunity into the side-netting in normal time.
Argentina's Sergio Romero saved from Ron Vlaar and Wesley Sneijder in the shootout, before Maxi Rodriguez struck.
His winning penalty put Argentina into their first World Cup final since 1990.
