On Tuesday, an already underwhelming 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign reached its nadir as Brazil suffered an embarrassing 4-1 defeat away to great rival Argentina.

Matheus Cunha got Brazil back in the game after dispossessing Cristian Romero in his own half. The Wolves forward then fired a shot from distance that beat Emiliano Martínez. Argentina soon retook control of the game, though, when Alexis Mac Allister sent a volley into the back of the net just before halftime.

No Lionel Messi, no problem for Argentina as the reigning, defending World Cup winners tore through Brazil in Buenos Aires on Tuesday.
