Sabella was over-zealous in his response to forward Gonzalo Higuain hitting the bar against Belgium - leaning back too far in frustration and falling over.
Higuain had already put Argentina after eight minutes with a fine turn and shot but he went on a magnificent run before smashing a shot against the woodwork in the 65th minute.

Sabella reacted by closing his eyes and leaning back in frustration - but the 59-year-old lost his balance and ended up spinning and hurtling towards the dugout.
His fall was reminiscent of Del Boy falling through the bar in the classic Only Fools and Horses episode.
He was caught by one of his backroom staff who prevented him from smashing into the plastic covering on the dugout.
Argentina progressed to the last four of the World Cup with a 1-0 at the Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia.
They will face either Holland or Costa Rica for a place the final.
