Raphinha’s comments fuel Argentina’s dominant victory over Brazil

According to Bolasport.com, Julian Alvarez revealed that Raphinha’s comments became additional motivation for Argentina national team to defeat Brazil at Mas Monumental Stadium.

The Albiceleste team dominated with a decisive 4-1 victory over their eternal rivals in the 2026 World Cup CONMEBOL zone qualifier — a match that took place early Wednesday morning.

The hosts immediately showed their intent from the start — Julian Alvarez opened the scoring in the fourth minute and Enzo Fernandez doubled the lead eight minutes later.

Matheus Cunha briefly gave Brazil hope with a goal in the 26th minute, but Alexis Mac Allister quickly restored Argentina’s advantage — before Giuliano Simeone completed the scoring fest in the 71st minute.
