The game’s momentum shifted significantly in the 90+8 minute mark when Martinez scored an important goal, putting Argentina up 1-0. The late goal provided Argentina with a critical advantage, changing the narrative of the fixture. While the contest was billed as a world premiere event, the final minutes saw the breakthrough for the South American side.
