FIFA investigates the brawl between Spain and Argentina post World Cup final
FIFA said on Monday it had appointed a disciplinary and ethics prosecutor to investigate the brawl that broke out after Spain's 1-0 extra-time win over Argentina in the World Cup final.
Spain clinched their second World Cup title after a high-drama match against Argentina, where a lone extra-time goal by Ferran Torres sealed the victory amid escalating on-field tensions
Spain secured their second World Cup championship following a highly contentious victory over Argentina. After Enzo Fernandez was dismissed for a second bookable offense in second-half stoppage time, Ferran Torres capitalised by scoring the decisive goal in extra time. The tournament concluded in chaotic scenes as Leandro Paredes confronted Spain’s Eric Garcia and Gabi, inciting a benches-clearing brawl that required intervention from coaching staff and tournament officials.
Leandro Paredes facing a possible suspension of 3+ international matches for alleged violent conduct. Other Argentina players and staff are also under review.
