Argentina's men continue to show their nations dominance throughout the America's, clinching yet another title for the prestigious hockey nation. At halftime, the teams were almost indistinguishable through their performance with both nations creating great goal scoring opportunities.
Despite this, Argentina went into the break with a 2-1 lead after successfully sustaining a lot of pressure from the Chile side.

Following a 1-0 halftime score to Argetina in the round games between the two nations developed into a 6-0 landslide, anything could have happened in this gold medal clash. Despite this, Chile came out with the same intense conviction they had shown in the first half and secured several short corners but could not convert. The second half mirrored the intensity of the first, with both teams proving to be more clinical, with the final score in favor of Argentina at 4-3.

No less competitive, the bronze medal playoff finished with a much broader scoreline, with Brazil claiming the podium position with a 4-1 scoreline.

Final Standings
1) Argentina
2) Chile
3) Brazil
4) Peru
5) Uruguay
6) Paraguay
