Scandal in San Pablo.

A group of officials from the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) entered the field of the Nao Química Arena when five minutes of the match between Brazil and Argentina were played to take the four national team players who play in the Premier League.

Immediately, Lionel Scaloni's squad returned to the locker room and the game was interrupted.

This occurred after Anvisa demanded this Sunday at noon that Emiliano Martínez, Cristian Romero, Gio Lo Celso and Emiliano Buendía immediately return to Argentina.

He claimed that they violated the rules by falsifying the sworn statement in Migrations by omitting that in the last 14 days they were in England.

However, the AFA, with the support of the entity chaired by Alejandro Domínguez, stood firm and the footballers were in the game.
