How was the match?

Argentina opened the scoring just 8 minutes into the first half. After a good move in the attacking third, Valentino Acuña broke into the box and, with his left foot, hit a low cross shot. Mexican goalkeeper Emmanuel Ochoa parried it, and unmarked, Mahuer Carrizo slotted it into the back of the net, unleashing the goal cry that had been stuck in the Argentines’ throats.

The second Albiceleste goal came only in the final stage, at 11 minutes. Juan Villalba played a beautiful through ball to Mateo Silvetti, who beat his marker and, inside the box, struck firmly with his right foot, past Ochoa, to seal the 2–0.
