According to Indian time, the match was scheduled to kick off at 6 a.m. Yet, within the first 30 minutes of what was supposed to be a thrilling encounter, a goal-scoring controversy erupted between supporters of both teams, leading to a delay in the match.

As tensions escalated among supporters from both countries, a police intervention exacerbated the situation, ultimately resulting in unrest at a critical juncture.

At that moment, players from both sides gathered on the field to sing their national anthems, attempting to bring a semblance of normalcy. However, images captured by cameras revealed disturbances in the gallery, with police wielding batons to control the crowd.

Amidst the chaos, Lionel Messi, visibly upset, engaged in a discussion with officials and teammates. Eventually, he decided to leave the field, expressing his dissatisfaction with the unfolding events. "We are not playing; we are leaving," Messi declared.

In contrast, the Brazilian team remained on the field, refusing to abandon the match. Despite the official attempts to resume normalcy, Argentina's players, instigated by the events, left the field, prompting a delay in the game's continuation.

The Argentine team, however, responded strongly on the field during the second half. In the 63rd minute, Messi's team managed to score the first goal of the match. Brazil struggled to equalize, resulting in a tense and action-packed second half.

In the aftermath of this unexpected turn of events, questions linger about the match's continuation and the repercussions for both teams. The incident at Maracanã Stadium will undoubtedly be etched in the memories of football fans worldwide.
