The final match is no exception, with ongoing speculation about Argentina receiving favorable treatment.
After a first half where the South American team employed a notably physical style of play, Brazilian fans erupted when Lisandro Martínez received the first yellow card of the match.
The defender was penalized after a foul that halted a counterattack.
By the end of the first half, Argentina had committed more fouls (9) than they had offensive actions (8).
Here are some reactions from fans regarding Martínez’s yellow card:
Extremely rare
I can’t believe it
EMOTION 😂😂😂
He didn’t forget it in the locker room
