The Brazil-Argentina match at Maracana Stadium was halted for 30 minutes due to a brawl in the stands. Argentina’s Lionel Messi criticized the police response, stating it “could have been a tragedy.”
Both national federations may face sanctions. Trouble started during the anthems, leading to clashes with police, seat destruction, and pitch invasion. Players, including Emiliano Martinez, intervened to calm the situation.
Following the delay, Argentina won 1-0. FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee is investigating potential breaches, with Brazil probed for order and security issues, and Argentina facing action for crowd disturbance and delayed kickoff. Possible sanctions include fines or stadium closures.
