For the first time in history, Brazil conceded four goals in a 2026 World Cup qualifying match. Goals from Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez, Mac Allister and Giuliano Simeone helped coach Lionel Scaloni's team win 4-1 in the South American football Clasico.
Argentina dominated Brazil through statistics. The reigning 2022 World Cup champion controlled the ball 56% of the entire match, launched 12 shots (3 times more than Brazil), of which 7 were on target and brought 4 goals. The home team had 7 shots, all of which were made in the Brazilian penalty area, while the "Selecao" had 0.
For Enzo Fernandez's goal alone, the Argentine team made 33 uninterrupted passes from home to the opponent's penalty area, helping the Chelsea midfielder raise the score to 2-0 for the home team in the 12th minute.
In addition, except for the goal conceded in the 26th minute, Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez rarely had to move or save against Brazil's weak attack. Meanwhile, his colleague Bento on the other side of the front line had 3 saves, 1 aerial contest and 1 punch to clear the ball.
This is the biggest victory of “La Albiceleste” against Brazil since 1964, pushing “Selecao” down to 4th place in the qualifying rankings, 10 points behind Argentina.
