The atmosphere was already charged as Argentina led 3-1, and tensions soared when Brazil’s Rodrygo provoked Argentina’s Leandro Paredes, who proudly claimed his World Cup success in response.
The conflict ignited in the 39th minute when Nicolás Tagliafico fouled Raphinha, prompting a strong reaction from the Brazilian winger. This incident led to yellow cards being issued to both players involved.
