A scorching day at Kyongsangnam-do, where 16072 spectators were in place for today's match. Mitsujiro Inao was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Alfonso Dosma and Anurat Punthai. The match took place on neutral ground. Argentina started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Österreich had chosen a strategic 3-5-2 formation.

After 31 minutes of play, V. Martínez gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. 32 minutes in, Österreich's P. Niehold received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. 34 minutes into the match, the visitors' central line of defence had to look on as J. Herrero broke through, making the score 2 - 0 for Argentina. Confident in their lead, Argentina's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. The referee showed Österreich's E. Peter the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. 2 - 0 was the halftime score. Österreich had most of the ball, with 54 percent of possession.

Argentina put themselves up 3 - 0 when V. Bravo broke through on the right, leaving the entire defence trailing in his wake. A questionable free kick call just outside the home side's penalty area gave Österreich a chance at reducing the score 77 minutes into the match. In the end, the ball went wide. The game was close to savage at times, and Österreich's P. Niehold received a second yellow card after 79 minutes; his ticket out of the game. With 80 minutes played, J. Alferez García of Argentina fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Österreich, with 53 percent of the ball.

Most important Argentina player was C. Gerpe. However, J. Aguado made a disastrous appearance. The most dominating Österreich player was without a doubt M. Giese. W. Peter on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 3 - 0.
