Argentina Seals World Cup Qualification With Brazil Rout

Argentina celebrated their qualification for the 2026 World Cup with an emphatic 4-1 victory over its long-time rivals Brazil in Buenos Aires on Tuesday.

Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister, and Giuliano Simeone contributed to a resounding victory for the world champions, who had secured their World Cup spot after Bolivias 0-0 tie with Uruguay earlier that day.

The scoreless draw created a festive vibe at the Estadio Monumental before the match began, and Argentina maintained the celebration with an electrifying performance.

Atletico Madrids Alvarez struck first just six minutes in, connecting with a through ball from Thiago Almada and delicately finishing past Brazils goalkeeper Bento from close range.

Things improved for Argentina six minutes later when Chelseas Fernandez slotted home the hosts second goal of the evening after Brazils defense struggled to handle a low cross.
