The match, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was originally scheduled to begin at 9 pm local time. However, heavy rainfall caused waterlogging on the pitch, forcing officials to postpone the start until 10:50 pm.

Despite the delay, the game was played in front of a capacity crowd, with Argentina emerging victorious through a solitary goal from Ángel Di María.
