Di Maria, 37, proved that he is still capable of world-class moments as he found the net directly from a corner kick.
Video showed the forward taking the set-piece with a tremendous amount of curl as it looped over goalkeeper Leandro Brey.
The goal cancelled the opening goal by Boca’s Rodrigo Battaglia just four minutes earlier.
Fans were left stunned by the effort as they reacted on social media.
One posted: “The quality and delicacy are never lost, totally on another level.”
A second wrote: “You can’t believe the goals this beast scores.”
A third commented: “It’s great to see class players go home and show they still have it before they retire.”
A fourth said: “You can’t score such an incredible goal, Di Maria you are a beast.”

Another added: “This gentleman is a wizard.”
It was a moment that United fans would have wanted to have seen more of when Di Maria joined the club in 2014.
The Argentine made the move to Old Trafford in a £59.7million transfer from Real Madrid.
He arrived with the reputation as one of the best attackers in Europe at the time.
Di Maria was only able to score four times in 32 appearances in all competitions.
His best moment came when he scored a stunning lob in the 5-3 defeat to Leicester City.
