In the 45+3 minute, Di Maria successfully executed the penalty, helping Benfica reduce the score to 1-2. After this goal, the Argentine midfielder raised his hands and refused to celebrate in front of his hometown fans.

This was also Di Maria's only shot on target during the 77 minutes of play. He was blocked by Boca players and could not create any breakthroughs against his opponents. According to statistics from Sofascore , Di Maria only had a 68% accurate pass rate, successfully crossed the ball 1/9 times and had 3 effective dribbles.

After the match, Di Maria expressed his frustration with the refereeing. The former PSG star said: "The referee allowed many dangerous tackles from the opponent. If he had given the yellow card earlier, the match could have been more spectacular."

Speaking about Benfica's two quick goals conceded in just five minutes, Di Maria shared: "We didn't play badly and could have scored first, but we made two mistakes and paid the price. That's football. We knew it could happen. Benfica tried to equalize and now we have to keep moving forward."

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup™ will be Di Maria's final tournament with Benfica. Last season, his form was inconsistent, partly due to injuries that kept him out of several games. However, Di Maria still showed his worth, ending the season with 8 goals and 5 assists in 25 Primeira Liga games.

After leaving Benfica, Di Maria chose to return to Argentina to play for Rosario Central from the 2025/26 season.
