Brazil vs Argentina LIVE: Brazil lose home World Cup qualifying match for first time in history
Follow along with Marca as we keep track of the Argentina vs. Brazil World Cup qualifying match.

Brazil come into the match reeling, having lost their last two qualifiers to Colombia and Uruguay while drawing against Venezuela in the match before. Uruguay also beat Argentina in the last matchday, handing Argentina their first loss since their 2022 World Cup debut against Saudi Arabia. Despite the loss, Argentina is still first in CONMEBOL qualifying.

Lionel Messi is fully expected to start for the visiting side and will look to score against Brazil in an official match for the first time in his career.

Brazil vs Argentina: CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier, live updates from the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil:
That will do it for our live coverage of Argentina-Brazil. It was a cagey affair and it always looked a low-scoring outcome. A towering header from Nicolas Otamendi sealed it, and Argentina extended their lead atop the CONMEBOL qualifying table.

Safe to say Argentina are going to thoroughly enjoy this one!

Argentina’s players went to celebrate with their fans at the Maracana, in the same place where the pre-game altercation took place.

 

THAT DOES IT! Brazil have lost a World Cup qualifier at home for the FIRST TIME IN THEIR HISTORY! Argentina continue rewriting the history books.

After all of that drama, we are now UNDERWAY!

 

Messi and Argentina players are back on the field at the Maracana

Following a 30 minute delay, Argentina is back and this game will be played after all. What a start to this one…

 

 

Emliano Martinez nearly jumped into the stands to try to stop the Brazilian police from using their batons!

 

It seems to have all kicked off during the Argentinian anthem, when both nations’ fans got into a scuffle in a specific section of the stands. Police then intervened.

 

Things appear to have calmed down now, but Argentina’s team remains in the locker room. Now we wait to see if they will come back out or not…

 

Lisandro Martinez on his IG story: “The police is an embarrassment! How is this possible? Until when? Always the same!”

 

Lionel Messi was the one who led his teammates off the pitch after he witnessed up close what was happening in the stands.

 

Security reinforcements have been called to separate all parties in the stands. And the Argentinian players are WALKING OFF THE FIELD!

 

Argentinian players approach the stands to try to calm down the situation.

 

Unsettling scenes as Brazilian authorities appear to be hitting Argentinian fans in the stands.

 

Lionel Messi warms up and greets the Maracana crowd.

 

Lionel Messi looks ready to go ahead of the game.

 

Argentina’s Starting XI vs Brazil

Only two changes for Argentina following their loss to Uruguay, with Gio Lo Celso coming in for Nico Gonzalez and Nicolas Tagliafico making way for Marcos Acuna.

 

Argentina arrive at the Maracana.

 

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.

 

When Argentina and Brazil met in the 2021 Copa America final, let’s just say it wasn’t “friendly”.

 

As if one Argentina-Brazil match this week wasn’t good enough, the two nations will meet in the U-17 World Cup quarterfinals on Friday.

 

Argentinian fans have already started chanting at the Maracana. We’re in for a treat tonight.

 

Brazil’s starting lineup to face Argentina

Brazil line up as expected, with Gabriel Jesus coming back into the starting XI.

 

Elsewhere in South American WC qualifying, Paraguay and Colombia have already kicked things off.

 

Hello and welcome to Marca English’s live, play-by-play coverage of one of the most highly anticipated games of the year: ARGENTINA vs. BRAZIL!

 

Throughout their storied history, Argentina and Brazil have faced off 109 times across a variety of competitions. Brazil have won 43 times, Argentina 40 and 26 games have ended in a draw. Argentina have had the upper hand as of late, having beaten Brazil in “Superclasico de las Americas” in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 2019 and in the 2021 Copa America final, which took place at the Maracana.

 

There were very few fans let into the stadium for that final, so this should be a much different atmosphere in Rio de Janeiro. The last meeting between the two came in November of 2021 in San Juan, Argentina. The two sides battled to a 0-0 draw during 2022 World Cup qualifier.

 

Possible Starting Lineups for Brazil vs Argentina

Despite a 2-0 loss to Uruguay at home, Argentina isn’t expected to make many changes. Brazil will be without their main man, Vinicius Jr., but are expected to get Gabriel Jesus back from injury.

 

Argentina: Emiliano Martinez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolas Otamendi, Marcos Acuña; Rodrigo De Paul, Alexia Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez; Lionel Messi, Julian Alvarez, Angel Di Maria

 

Brazil: Alisson; Emerson Royal, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães, Carlos Augusto; Bruno Guimarães, Andre; Raphinha, Rodrigo, Gabriel Martinelli; Gabriel Jesus
