Argentina Wins Brazil, Otamendi Scores

Brazil vs Argentina

World Cup Qualifier 22112023 Game Week 6

Nicolas Otamendi scored with a towering header to give Argentina a 1-0 away win over Brazil in a bad-tempered World Cup qualifier that was delayed by half an hour due to crowd trouble. The match was played at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro and was the first meeting between the two sides since the Copa America final in July, which Argentina won on penalties. The win means that Argentina has now moved top of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying group, while Brazil is in second place.
