Athletistic/Football. Yesterday evening in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) the 6th round match of the qualifying phase for the 2026 World Cup in South America took place between the national teams of Brazil and Argentina. The match ended with the victory of the Argentines with a score of 1:0.
The start of the match was delayed by half an hour due to disturbances in the stadium. Just before the anthems were played, the police started a fight with the visiting fans, which was why the Argentina team went to the locker room. After 30 minutes, the reigning world champions returned to the field. This was facilitated by the promise of the meeting organizers to end the unrest and ensure the safety of everyone present in the stadium.
It is interesting that the captain of the Albiceleste, Lionel Messi, after returning to the field, quarreled with the striker of the Brazilian national team Rodrigo. After a verbal altercation, things almost escalated into a fight.
