[Sport] Historic: Argentina won a very hot classic against Brazil at the Maracana

[TheKnight.]

 

 

Historic triumph. In a hot Maracana, the Argentine national team achieved an unforgettable 1-0 victory on the visit to Brazil in a classic that closed the year of the South American Qualifiers, for the sixth date heading to the 2026 World Cup. It was a very special match, as he was delayed almost 30 minutes due to serious incidents in the stands, and allowed him to stay at the top of the table and cause the first defeat to the Yellow-green in this competition in his country.

 

The world champion, defeated by Uruguay in La Bombonera, was coming from suffering her first defeat post-Qatar 2022 and, although the fall did not affect her position in the South American competition, Lionel Scaloni's team needed to give a new show of character (as happened to her after losing on her debut at the World Cup) and just with her other great continental classic and as a visitor. And wow, the victory was epic, for different reasons and in a particular climate.
