Brazil's 'helpless surrender' to Argentina

Brazil's 'helpless surrender' to Argentina

Before the Argentina match in the World Cup qualifier, Brazilian star footballer Rafinha made no secret of his intentions when he said on the 'Romario TV' podcast with Romario, "We will crush them (Argentina)." There is no doubt about it. We will crush them completely on the field, and if necessary, off the field as well."

It is conceivable that Rafinha's comments infuriated Argentina fans. However, Lionel Scaloni's Argentina responded to Rafinha's words on the field of play. Alvarez Simeone's team drenched the fans' hearts with goals.

Although Brazil entered the field to win the Super Clasico against their arch-rivals, that dream was dashed at the beginning of the game. The team of Darival Junior seemed to decide the outcome of the game by conceding three goals in the first half. The fans had to witness Brazil's helpless surrender against Argentina.

Lionel Scaloni's team left the field with a 4-1 win in the match at the Monumental in Buenos Aires, Bangladesh time, on Wednesday morning.

Argentina attacked Brazil with the first chance in the fourth minute of the game. Alvarez scored after receiving the ball between two defenders, Guillermo Arana and Murillo. Argentina took a two-goal lead against the Seleção before the end of the match, 20 minutes into the match.

The morale of the Brazilian defense was broken before the start of the game, thanks to the achievements of Julian Alvarez and Enzo Fernandez. Cunha scored a goal for Brazil, but Mac Allister doubled the lead again in the 38th minute. And the scoreline was 3-1 after the end of the full 45 minutes. After this goal, the footballers of the two teams got into an argument. For this, a yellow card was also shown.

In the second half of the match, Guiliano Simeone, who came on as a substitute for Almada, scored the fourth goal for Argentina in the 71st minute. He increased their score and took a 4th goal lead against Brazil. In the 71st minute of the match, he broke through the Brazilian defense. However, Brazilian goalkeeper Bento Matheus had to be defeated by his speed. Simeone scored the last goal for Argentina in Brazil's net. And with his goal, Messi-less Argentina left the field with a big win of 4-1.

Although Brazil gave some signs of returning to the match with a goal in the first half. Mathias Cunha scored for Brazil in the 30th minute. However, McAllister poured water on that hope.

However, the Argentine team received good news before going down to Monumental. The team has confirmed its participation in the 2026 World Cup. Which is the fastest in the history of their World Cup qualification. Although they could have secured a place in the World Cup if they had drawn in the match against Brazil, Argentina secured their place in the tournament in advance after the match between Bolivia and Uruguay ended in a goalless draw.
