Nehuel Morina scored the first goal for Argentina in the 35th minute. Lionel Messi gave a great pass on which Morina sent the ball into the goalpost. After this, Messi scored a penalty in the 73rd minute to take a 2-0 lead and it seemed that Argentina would easily win the match, but Bout Beghorst, who came on as a substitute in the 78th minute, completely overturned the match. Bout Beghorst scored the goal in the 83rd minute. In the last minute of injury time, Beghorst surprised Argentina by scoring the second goal.
