Icardi produced a fine finish in the second minute to open the scoring, while the win was sealed by Dybala on the counter-attack. Scaloni, who could be given the permanent job, was satisfied with his team's performance.

"It was difficult. We played with a lot of changes. We are happy because they all played, that was the goal. I believe that with the changes the team let go more," he said.
