Match overview
Argentina controlled the match from the outset, taking the lead through Passarella’s penalty after a handball in the box. Bertoni doubled the lead early in the second half, finishing a flowing move. El Salvador defended bravely but rarely threatened the Argentine goal, and the defending champions secured a comfortable win.
Trivia
This was the only match in the tournament where Argentina kept a clean sheet. Passarella’s goal was his only strike at the 1982 World Cup.
