The match was suspended at the beginning of the meeting after a scuffle.

The Argentine team decided to leave the field while the Brazilians remained on the pitch.

Football players of the Argentine national team staged a skirmish with members of the opponent's coaching staff.

As a result of the conflict, the defender of the Argentines, Nicolas Otamendi, pushed one of Tite's staff members away.

Before the match, the Brazilian authorities wanted to deport four players from the Argentine national team.

Emiliano Martinez, Emiliano Buendía, Christian Romero and Lo Celso were all suspected of having violated the border.

All four are for English clubs.

Persons arriving in the country from the UK must undergo a 14-day quarantine.

However, the footballers claimed at customs that they had not visited the UK.

Argentina had previously defeated Venezuela in the 2022 World Cup qualifier.
