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.
