As if they had won the World Cup again. Argentina celebrated its victory over Brazil for 10 minutes.
A historic victory, never before had Brazil lost a home match in the World Cup preliminary round.
Many fans had come to the mythical Maracana stadium to see Lionel Messi (last time in Brazil?). Children wore shirts from Barcelona or his current club Inter Miami.
In the 78th minute, Messi left the field to a mix of taunts and applause from Brazilian football fans.
The Argentinian football star had not scored. That honor was reserved for Otamendi Nicolás. He headed home from a corner.

Bitchy
Brazil – Argentina started on a false note. The kick-off was postponed by half an hour after unrest in the stands. Messi even refused to play football for a moment.
Once the match had started, things also became nasty on the pitch. Brazil in particular played hard.
Before halftime, the home team received 3 yellow cards (for 16 fouls). In the second half, substitute Joelinson had to leave the field after a red card.
