- Argentina lost key defender Lisandro Martínez to an apparent leg injury just before halftime of the final; Nicolás Otamendi came on for him.
- Martínez has been a tournament stalwart (started all but one game), scored in the round of 32 vs Cape Verde (his second international goal) and was making his 35th appearance for Argentina — he also plays for Manchester United.
- At the break Argentina also subbed Nicolás González for Leandro Paredes, who picked up a yellow card shortly after coming on.
