The first three-team group provided plenty of drama and a bit of math to figure out the winner, as each of the teams won once in the round-robin. Scandinavia claimed first place on goal differential. Portugal and Argentina I tied on goal differential and goals scored. The fourth tiebreaker is head-to-head, which put Portugal through. Argentina I needed at least a two-goal win over Scandinavia in the finale but only won 2-1 thanks to a stoppage-time winner.
Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo had a hat trick against Argentina. Argentina’s Angel Labruna also tallied three goals. Scandinavia’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted goals in both matches.
