On the other side, River Plate had had some of its players called up for Argentina, including goalkeeper Carlos Isola that had played some friendlies vs English side Exeter City.[5]
During the match, both teams had chances to score, but River Plate struck first when a defective defense by Uruguayan Manuel Marenco trying to intercept a pass from Rodolfo Fraga, allowed forward Luis Gianetto to score the only goal. In the second half, the referee annulled a goal to River Plate (offside). River Plate won its first international Cup.[6]
