Argentina Secures World Cup Spot with Resounding 4-1 Victory Over Brazil

Argentina celebrated their qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a dominant performance, extending their six-year unbeaten streak against Brazil.

Argentina officially qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup earlier in the day following a 0-0 draw between Bolivia and Uruguay.
In Buenos Aires, Argentina defeated Brazil 4-1, with goals from Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister, and Giuliano Simeone.
Brazil's only goal came after a defensive error by Cristian Romero allowed Matheus Cunha to score in the first half.
This marks Brazil's heaviest defeat in World Cup qualifying history, intensifying scrutiny on manager Dorival Jr, who has struggled to deliver consistent results.
Argentina now leads the South American standings with 31 points, while Brazil sits in fourth place with 21 points, still fighting for automatic qualification.
