See all photos for signs of wear. 1978 World Cup match between Argentina and Peru (Match 34), took place on June 21, 1978 in Rosario, Argentina. For context on the controversy, the 1978 World Cup did not include a knockout phase, as it is commonly known. Instead, it featured a second group stage with two groups of four teams each. The first-place teams from these two groups would face off in the final. For Argentina to secure first place in their group and advance to the final, they needed to defeat Peru by at least 4-0, otherwise, Brazil would claim the first place in the group.Argentina ultimately won the match by 6-0 and advanced to the final. This result led to major controversy surrounding the game, with allegations of match-fixing, secret arrangements, and irregular events that occurred before and during the match. Given that the World Cup was held in Argentina during a military dictatorship, it is widely accepted that arrangements had taken place to ensure Argentina’s win by at least 4-0 in order to advance to the final. Many players on both sides, who participated in the game, later claimed that irregularities had indeed occurred. Feel free to ask any questions. All items are shipped with tracking.
