In a remarkable performance, Argentina secured a significant 4-1 victory against their rivals Brazil in the World Cup qualifying match, marking a historic moment as they scored four goals against Brazil for the first time in qualifying history.

Match Summary

Argentina qualified for the 2026 World Cup earlier in the day, thanks to Uruguay’s draw with Bolivia. However, this didn’t deter them from facing Brazil in the Superclasico de las Americas, even without their star player Lionel Messi.

Goals from Julián Álvarez and Enzo Fernández gave Argentina an early lead, dominating the game throughout. It was the first time Argentina scored four goals against Brazil in World Cup qualifying.

Attacking Depth

Despite missing Messi due to injury, Argentina showcased their depth with players like Fernández and Alexis Mac Allister stepping up to facilitate attacks, taking full advantage of defensive lapses from Brazil’s side. This resulted in involvement from players such as Nicolas Tagliafico, helping in the scoring efforts.

"¡GOOOL DE ARGENTINA! 🕷️ Julián Álvarez abre el marcador y dice que los campeones del mundo ganan en el arranque 💪"
“SCORES GOAL! Julián Álvarez opens the scoring, declaring world champions win from the start!”

As they celebrated, Brazil, led by coach Dorival Júnior, has some reassessing to do. This defeat could impact Brazil’s qualifying sequence, but with players like Raphinha and Vinicius Junior, there’s still potential ahead. Argentina’s future also looks bright, with significant young players getting exposure to international success.
