The two teams would have the pleasure of facing off again not two months later in a friendly match in Dusseldorf. Playing for the first time following their World Cup triumph, Germany were without several of the starting XI from that final on what proved to be a sobering evening.
Argentina had absolutely no interest in watching the newly-crowned champions do a lap of honour and emerged 4–2 winners. The main gatecrasher was Angel Di Maria, who set up the first three of Argentina’s goals before scoring himself to make it four.
