The first minutes were back and forth and a great game was anticipated in Puebla, with an initially uncertain result. However, the Mexican team began to prevail at the end of the first half and at 36 minutes they got a penalty after a foul by Gonzalo Luján on Santiago Muñoz, who took charge of the shot from the 12th step and gave the partial advantage.

For the second half, Mascherano’s team had more of the ball thanks to the contributions of Cristian Medina and Thiago Almada, but it was not enough. Ramiro Arciga extended the lead for El Tri and the hope of turning the game around was fading for the Argentines. Finally, Arciga’s second goal arrived, which sealed the 3-0 win.
