Scaloni criticized the pitch, stating (via Gaston Edul):

“We’ve known for 7 months that we would be playing here, and they changed the grass two days ago. We didn’t play on a decent pitch. It was similar to Arabia, but the difference is that we played there on a suitable field. This shouldn’t happen.”
