Game results

Round of 16

Sun., May 27, 1934 at 4:30 p.m. in Bologna
Sweden	-	Argentina	3: 2 (1: 1)

Argentina only came with a reserve team that could not be compared with the one that had become vice world champion in 1930 . Nevertheless, she was on a par with the Swedes and took the lead after three minutes through defender Ernesto Belis, but was equalized six minutes later by Sven Jonasson . After the break, the Argentines took an early lead again through Alberto Galateo, but had to accept the equalizer again after an hour through Sven Jonasson. In the 80th minute, Knut Kroon scored the 3-2 winner, which Argentina could not match. The runner-up world champion was eliminated after taking the lead twice in the first round.
