Scandal in the qualifying duel between Brazil and Argentina in São Paulo. The game began and at 6 minutes it was delayed by the Venezuelan referee Jesús Valenzuela because health authorities entered the field of play to prevent Emiliano Martínez, Cristian Romero, Giovani Lo Celso (plus Emiliano Buendía, who remained outside the bench) from contesting the encounter. These are the footballers who are active in England and who, in the previous match, had been accused of breaching the health protocol.

This Sunday one of the biggest news papers in world football was written. Argentina was playing its qualifying match against Brazil, after a hot preview, and five minutes later the San Pablo health authorities entered the field to take the four Argentine footballers who play in the Premier League. In the middle of discussions, shoves and bewilderment, Scaloni's men left the court.

The match, of the triple day of September of the South American Qualifiers, corresponds to the sixth date, which had to be suspended due to the worsening of the pandemic last February. After several hours of anxiety, in which the uncertainty of the Argentine squad was total, the presence of the players had been confirmed.
