Saturday 4th November 2023.- Argentina defeated the United States in a tightly contested match, 2-1, and successfully defended the gold medal won at the 2019 Pan American Games.

The match was very close, with the 'Leonas' taking the lead thanks to Agustina Gorzelany's goal in the first quarter.

However, the United States managed to equalize in the second period with a goal by Ashley Sessa, making the match even more exciting.

But the Argentinian team, with their reputation as the most successful in terms of gold medals at the Pan American Games, came through in the final quarter, with Eugenia Trinchinetti scoring the goal that secured the gold for Argentina.

This is the eighth gold medal in the Pan American Games for the 'Leonas,' confirming their dominance in continental field hockey and now, securing a spot in Paris 2024.
