In the early morning of Wednesday (13th), Argentina lacked the king of the World Cup, but another veteran player, Di Maria, contributed 2 assists to help the World Cup champions beat Bolivia 3-0, and won 2 matches without conceding a goal in 2 matches in the World Cup.
The 36 year old Mace was with the team, but since he played 12 matches in 48 days, the team leader Scaloni decided to give Mace a rest, and he was not even included in the list of players for this match. However, the Argentinean team was always better than their opponents and even in the highlands, they played with ease. 35-year-old Di Maria was the star of the show, scoring in the first half for Ansel Fernandez and Dalia Fico, and late in the game, Nicolás González scored to make it 3-0.
