This was made possible by a solidary goal from the head of Argentina striker Nicolas Otamendi. Brazil ended the game with ten men as one of their strikers, Joelinton was sent out on a red card for a push.
In Rio De Janeiro Brazil, the kick-off was delayed for approximately thirty minutes as a result of the clashes between the police and the fans in the stadium during the national anthems.
