During a match involving the Argentine team, several instances of on-field altercations occurred. Notably, Argentine defender Nahuel Molina struck Spanish defender Eric Garcia in the stomach during a celebration involving Rodri. Additionally, Argentine goalkeeper Leandro Paredes was observed grabbing the Spanish defender’s neck and subsequently throwing Argentine player Gavi to the ground.
Following the conclusion of the game, further physical confrontations took place. A point of tension involved an Argentine coaching staff member, Roberto Ayala. During a period where players were engaging in physical jostling, Ayala pushed Spanish goalkeeper Dani Alves and then punched him in the face.
Less than a month after these reported conflicts, FIFA issued disciplinary actions to the involved parties for violating regulations. The most severe sanction was directed at L. Paredes, who was identified as a key participant in the altercations.
Paredes received a disqualification of ten matches along with a fine amounting to 90,000 US dollars. The same penalty was administered to other players who were also implicated in the violence.
