The Brazil vs. Argentina Conmebol World Cup qualifier at Maracana Stadium on Tuesday was delayed after clashes between the police and fans in the stands in Rio de Janeiro.
Lionel Messi led the Argentine team to the locker room before the kickoff after the players approached the stands to try to calm things down while serious incidents between the Argentina supporters and the police started during Brazil’s anthem.
Argentina players later returned to the field, with the match getting underway after a delay of almost 30 minutes.
