What happened to Argentina? Messi locked his throat, Lautaro made a flying tackle behind his back, and De Paul cried when his opponent was seriously injured
On the morning of November 17, Beijing time, in the South American qualifiers for the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup, Argentina sat at home and lost 0-2 to Uruguay. It was the first time in 103 years that Uruguay had won by two goals at Argentina's home ground.
In the 41st minute of the first half, Araujo scored a goal. In the 87th minute, Nunez sealed the victory, Uruguay took away 3 points, and Argentina's 4 consecutive wins in the World Preliminary Tournament came to an end.
In the fierce competition, it is inevitable that there will be the smell of gunpowder. But the Argentine players seem to be particularly angry.
In the 30th minute of the game, a large-scale clash broke out between the two teams. Argentine players such as Romero and McAllister pushed their opponents one after another.
Messi rushed over, first elbowed Oliveira, and then made a choke lock movement.
The referee on duty waited until the clash was over and did not award a card to any player from either side.
This is just a microcosm of the game. In the second half of the game, M Araujo and De Paul scrambled, and De Paul took off directly and pressed heavily on Arrojo's legs.
Araujo fell to the ground in pain, even so sad that he burst into tears, and he was directly replaced and left the field with serious injuries.
Argentina's eagerness to equalise was understandable, but some moves were completely unnecessary. Lautaro, who came on as a substitute, tackled Gimenez behind his back and received a yellow card.
In the end, in this hot South American matchup, Uruguay won 2-0 away against Argentina.
Speaking about Uruguay's young players in an interview after the game, Messi said: "Actually, I don't want to say what I think. But these young people must learn to respect their elders, they must learn this..."
