Argentina made history in the Maracana stadium on Tuesday night by defeating Brazil 1-0 in a World Cup qualification match, marking Brazil's first-ever home defeat in this stage of the tournament. However, the victory was overshadowed by Lionel Messi's lackluster performance and the violent scenes that unfolded before the game. The national anthems sparked scuffles between rival fan groups, leading to clashes with the police. The Argentine players witnessed the chaos and Messi decided to lead his team off the field in solidarity with their compatriots. The match started 27 minutes late, tainted by the violence. Brazil, coming off two consecutive defeats, played with intensity and aggression, pressuring Argentina's possession. With Messi struggling, Argentina found it difficult to break through Brazil's defense. The few chances that arose favored Brazil, but it was Otamendi's header from a corner that secured the historic win for Argentina. This victory may be bittersweet for Argentina if coach Lionel Scaloni decides to step down, as he hinted in the post-match press conference. As for Brazil, they ended the match with no clear plan or organization and finished in sixth place in the World Cup qualifying table. The federation is optimistic about hiring Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti as the new coach, despite potential controversy. Overall, this match will be remembered for its disappointing events rather than the football played on the pitch.
