Trivia

El Gráfico counts this match in its cap chain and 11v11 lists it as an A-international, and RSSSF career totals (e.g. Houseman 55, Luque 45, Valencia 41) only work with it included; RSSSF's chronological list, the OCR book and Wikipedia omit it.

Video footage of the match credits Rest of the World's first goal as a Luis Galván own goal.
