Argentina vs Brazil Live Score: Argentina decimated arch-rivals Brazil 4-1 in a World Cup Qualifiers match on Tuesday (March 25). With the victory, the Albicelestes confirmed their World Cup 2026 berth as well.
It was an easy evening for Argentina who broke very less sweat to see out Brazil. Goals from Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister and Giuliano Simeone made them not miss Lionel Messi or Lautaro Martinez at all. For Brazil, the lack of quality was evident and they will have to return to the drawing board and chalk out their deficiencies and work on it. Gabriel Magalhaes at the defence was a huge miss for the Selecao as well. That's it from us. The South American World Cup Qualifiers will have four more rounds and although Argentina have booked their places for the World Cup 2026, Brazil are far away from it.
The final whistle blows. Argentina complete a scintillating 4-1 rout of Brazil. The fireworks have erupted as they are dancing on the pitch. If you don't know, Argentina have qualified for the World Cup 2026 as well which was confirmed before the start of the match.

Well, the whistle has blown, but there is a fresh scrum between the players. Both Argentina and Brazil players are getitng involved in another war of words and Vinicius Jr, Emiliano Martinez are among the ones having a go at one another.
This match marks the 115th meeting between these two footballing giants, with Argentina leading the South American qualifying table and Brazil in third place.
Argentina: The reigning world champions will be without their talisman Lionel Messi due to injury. Additionally, Lautaro Martínez is sidelined with a muscle strain. In their absence, Thiago Almada is expected to start after his impressive performance against Uruguay, and Julián Álvarez is likely to lead the attack.
Brazil: The Seleção are facing significant injury challenges, missing key players such as Neymar, Casemiro, Vinicius Junior, Gabriel Jesus, and Richarlison. Raphinha, Rodrygo, and 17-year-old Endrick are anticipated to spearhead the Brazilian offense.
Argentina secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Uruguay in their previous match, with Thiago Almada scoring the decisive goal. This win ended their three-game winless streak in away qualifiers. Brazil, on the other hand, achieved a late victory against Colombia, thanks to a goal from Vinicius Junior.
A draw would be sufficient for Argentina to secure their spot in the 2026 World Cup. Brazil aims to maintain momentum under new manager Dorival Júnior, having lost only once in their last 15 matches.
Given the injury concerns affecting both squads and the high stakes involved, a closely contested match is anticipated. Argentina's home advantage and recent form might give them a slight edge, but Brazil's attacking talent could pose significant challenges. A narrow victory for Argentina or a draw seems a possibility.
