Brazil Vs Argentina, FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers: Nicolas Otamendi Scores Late To Give Albiceleste 1-0 Win In Fiery Clash - In Pics

Argentina defender Nicolas Otamendi scored the only goal of the game as Albiceleste won a fiery clash 1-0 win over Brazil on Wednesday in the FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier group match at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Otamendi scored in the 63rd minute to put the 2022 World Cup champions ahead after he was left unmarked during a corner and the former Manchester City man made no mistake to put the ball past Alisson. However, the game was marred by fan infighting in the stands ahead of the game. Even on the field, Newcastle United player Joelinton saw red for flinging his hands on Argentina's Rodrigo De Paul. The win lifts Argentina to first in the table whereas Brazil are languishing sixth and need some serious wins under their belt.
