Argentine media reaction after Brazil's thrashing

In a disastrous match, Brazil were crushed by Argentina 4-1 at the Monumental de Núñez Stadium. This victory helped Argentina continue to consolidate their lead in the 2026 World Cup qualifying round in South America, with 31 points, while Brazil only had 21 points and is currently in 4th place.

Brazil coach Dorival Júnior admitted that his team failed to execute their pre-match plan. He said the “constant movement” of Argentina’s players made it difficult for Brazil to play defensively. This allowed Argentina to dominate and score goals without the presence of Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martínez.

From the very first minutes, Argentina showed their superiority. Two quick goals from Julián Álvarez and Enzo Fernández stunned the Brazilian team. Although Matheus Cunha pulled one back, Mac Allister and then Simeone added more for Argentina, ending the match with a convincing 4-1 victory.

Brazil's stars "silenced" against Argentina.

The Argentine press was full of praise for the home team's performance. Olé called it a "historic dance" by Argentina against Brazil, while TyC Sports described the victory as a "dream night" for the hosts. Clarín also poked fun at Raphinha's comments about Argentina's "historic blow" to Brazil, while "La Nación" praised Scaloni's tactics and fighting spirit.

Brazil are currently in 4th place with 21 points, and will face great pressure with only 4 rounds left to qualify directly for the World Cup. If they do not improve their performance, the Brazilian team will have difficulty qualifying for the final round.

The current situation raises many questions for coach Dorival Júnior, as the Brazilian team has not performed as well as expected. Changing strategy and playing spirit is necessary if Brazil wants to continue to hope for a place at the 2026 World Cup.
