Chaos breaks out during Argentina vs. Brazil as Emi Martinez fights with riot cops,

Argentina’s World Cup qualifying match versus Brazil was disrupted by crowd violence,

and Emiliano Martinez was seen attempting to grab the baton from the hand of a riot police officer.

Few could have foreseen how things would ultimately come to a head when the two adversaries met in

Rio de Janeiro for what many anticipated to be a hotly contested match.

Argentina’s captain, Lionel Messi, led his team back into the changing room away from the commotion among the spectators after the game was delayed.

Before the game was scheduled to start, the two groups of opposing supporters’

near closeness seemed to pose issues and provoke violent incidents during the national anthems.

As the incident deepened, police charged Argentine fans with batons during the Brazil national anthem,

which is when Martinez intervened.

The Aston Villa goalie was seen attempting to dive into the throng in an attempt to take one of

the batons from the policeman.

Martinez became visibly enraged and angrily yelled and pointed at one policeman in particular before being escorted out of the stadium by a group of his teammates and pitch-side security.

Messi chose to lead his team off the field shortly after this unpleasant occurrence, while the players from Brazil stayed on the field to wait for things to settle down.

According to local sources, with the tension and animosity running high, Argentina requested a 15-minute wait to assess whether the match could go.

The game did, however, ultimately begin, but not before Messi and Brazilian adversary Rodrygo were seen getting into a violent argument. would have the last laugh as Argentina emerged victorious 1-0 thanks to a header from Otamendi just after the hour mark.

Twenty minutes later, Joelinton received a red card for yelling at Rodrigo De Paul, which left the hosts down to 10 men.

The outcome extended Brazil’s losing streak to three games and was their first World Cup qualification loss at home.

Their recent record versus rivals Argentina is dismal,

as they have only won once and drawn once in their past four encounters.

The visitors chose to celebrate with their supporters on the field after the game, adding insult to injury.

Messi had harsh words for the way the cops handled the issue after the game.

“We witnessed the police beating people, including some of our family members.

“ Repression of the populace occurred during the [Copa] Libertadores final as well.

That occupies their attention more than really playing the game.

We belong to a family. To help defuse the tension, we made the decision to play.”
