Argentia thrash Brazil 4-1 in World Cup qualifying game
The Island
|March 27, 2025
Brazil captain Marquinhos has apologised to the fans after an "embarrassing" display in their 4-1 World Cup qualifying defeat by Argentina in Buenos Aires.
-
Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister and Giuliano Simeone were on target for Argentina, whose World Cup qualification was confirmed before kick-off by Bolivia's draw with Uruguay.
Matheus Cunha replied for the five-time world champions, who suffered their worst defeat in World Cup qualifying and are not yet guaranteed of a place in next year's finals.
"What we did here can't happen again," Marquinhos told Brazilian TV station Globo. "It's hard to talk about it in the heat of the moment. It's embarrassing."
He added: "We started the game badly, far below what we could do and they're on a great run of confidence. They knew how to play smart. I'm sorry for our fans."
