Argentina created history in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Brazil in the early hours of Wednesday.
Even without injured ace Lionel Messi, La Albiceleste were determined to play rivals Brazil in the Superclasico de las Americas, even though Uruguay’s draw with Bolivia earlier in the day had guaranteed them a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
According to CBS Sports, Lionel Scaloni’s team, who took a commanding 4-1 victory after goals from Julian Alvarez and Enzo Fernadez in the first 12 minutes put them ahead by two goals, were the first side to ever score four goals against Brazil in a World Cup qualifying match.

They have also scored four goals against Brazil in an official game for the first time since the Copa America in 1959.
Argentina wouldn’t let Messi’s injury stop them from displaying their attacking prowess. Fernandez and Alexis Mac Allister’s midfield wasted no time in getting into the box, and Brazil’s defense fell asleep several times during the game.
Brazil coach Dorival Junior has been attempting to strike a balance with this Brazil team.
Although it seemed like the Selecao were getting better with a 2-1 victory over Colombia in their previous match, Argentina were obviously on a different level and consistently catching their neighbors off-guard.
