There was great anticipation ahead of tonight's meeting (Argentina) between Argentina and Brazil in the World Cup qualifiers, especially given the fact that the previous match between the two was blown up after five minutes, but the 90 minutes they were in San Juan gave birth to nothing to tell about - except Argentina's promise of Qatar 2022.
Although Leo Messi returned to the squad of the South American champion, who received tremendous support from the crowd, but against Brazil without the injured Neymar, this battle became tactical and controlled.
Vinicius Jr. came to Brazil's best chance, Messi twice threatened Alison's goal, but the standouts were Fabiano and Rodrigo de Paul - and that sums it all up.

For the first time in a decade, South America's big battle ended in a dull 0-0 draw, which brought Argentina a step away from the World Cup in Qatar and left both teams undefeated in the qualifiers.
As mentioned, Argentina officially advanced to the World Cup - but also only thanks to Ecuador's 2-0 victory over Chile.
At the same time, Bolivia intensified the Uruguayan crisis when it defeated it 0: 3 in La Paz.
Peru achieved an important 1: 2 victory over Venezuela and Colombia finished 0-0 on Wednesday in their last five games, this time against Paraguay.
