The World Cup qualifier between Brazil and Argentina has been canceled due to chaotic circumstances.
In the Superclásico Brazil for superstar Neymar and Argentina for their captain Lionel Messi actually wanted to deliver a spectacular duel, but the game, which took place in Sao Paulo, was interrupted after a few minutes. Officials from the federal police and the state health authority Anvisa entered the lawn. Reason: Four Argentines playing in England are said to have previously violated the country’s anti-corona regulations.
Referee Jesus Valenzuela decided almost 50 minutes later to end the game. How and when the duel will be rescheduled is still open and is now in the hands of the FIFA decision-makers.
“It had to come to this because the Argentine delegation had not followed the requirements of the Anvisa right from the start,” said Antonio Barra Torres from the board of the health authority and further explained: “The four players are now being deported from Brazil because of a number of violations fined against sanitary rules. “
