2-The Biggest talking point on the days leading up to the match was the absence of Diego Maradona.

The Argentina squad had been summoned to a training camp on October 19, 1981, for this match and another friendly vs. Czechoslovakia on November 11^th.

Maradona did not show up and sent his Personal Manager Jorge Cyzterspiller to explain his absence.

He explained that Maradona was willing to play the matches but did not want to train and stay in a training camp, as he was physically and mentally burnt out from too much playing.

He addressed the excessive number of matches and friendlies he had to play with Boca Juniors which included a trip to Africa.

He added that he was also tired of journalists asking about his private life and even mentioned he might quit football altogether because of the pressure.

An angry Menotti summoned Patricio Hernandez as a replacement.

When by the next day Maradona still had not arrived, he was kicked out of the squad by Menotti, though he added it was a temporary measure.

Maradona met Menotti two days later and after a talk it was announced that he would return to the National Team when he is mentally ready.

During the week some National Team teammates and even Passarella went to meet Maradona to discuss his decision.

3-Argentina were missing regular starter Luis Galvan.

Foreign-based players Osvaldo Ardiles of Tottenham and Daniel Bertoni of Fiorentina were also not released by their clubs.

Leopoldo Luque was overlooked since the 1981 Mundialito and did not play for Argentina again.

3- Argentina employed 4-3-3 formation.

4-Due to the unimpressive display of Argentina, the crowd kept chanting Maradona’s name during the match.

6-First cap for Edgardo Bauza, Ricardo Alberto Gareca and Luis Amuchastegui.
