The pattern continued in the second half. Late in regular time, Argentina’s Fernandes was shown a red card for fouling a Spanish player, forcing the defending champions to play the remainder of the match with 10 men.
Argentina again failed to record a single shot on target in the second half, and the match remained goalless at the end of the 90 minutes.
