Despite the absence of the Barcelona forward on the pitch, The Albiceleste still had plenty of attacking firepower in its lineup, as the likes of Angel Di Maria, Gonzalo Higuain and Ever Banega carried the attacking burden for Argentina and they certainly took the game to the reigning Copa America champions.

Nicolas Gaitan played in place of Messi, but the lad did not try to replace Messi but rather played his own role as a player, but it was Di Maria and Banega who ultimately provided the cutting edge needed to win the match for Argentina. Di Maria took a pass from Banega in the 51st minute and slammed his shot past Claudio Bravo, though the Chilean keeper should have done better, getting beaten to his near post was also to the fore and, with Di Maria formed a potent dual threat on the wings.

After his goal, Di Maria held aloft a t-shirt with a message dedicated to his grandmother, who died hours earlier. The Argentina winger would later break down in tears in a post-match interview.
