PARIS (Reuters) - Argentina pulled off an unprecedented women's World Cup fightback from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 with Scotland on Wednesday, but it will be the video assistant referee's decision to award a stoppage-time penalty retake that will remain in memory.

The encounter descended into chaos when the VAR was first used to award a debatable penalty three minutes from fulltime, yet the drama and disbelief escalated when Argentina forward Florencia Bonsegundo's spot kick was saved.
