ARGENTINA were forced into making a late change to their line-up for the World Cup Final.
Marcos Acuna has come in at left-back for Nicolas Tagliafico in a switch shortly before kick-off.
Acuna had missed the semi-final against Croatia due to injury.
The switch is not believed to be for tactical reasons and it is reported that Tagliafico has picked up a knock.
The full-back had made five appearances in this World Cup but then missed out on the final.
Acuna, 31, came in for the huge clash against the holders.
