Argentinas vs. Brazil: History of the South American classic in the Qualifiers.

Already the meeting that will paralyze the entire South American region is palpable. In a new edition of the Americas superclásico, Argentina and Brazil will measure their strength on Tuesday, November 16th for Matchday 14 of the Qatar 2022 qualifiers. Lionel Scaloni's team faces their counterpart for the first time in this World Cup process, after the previous match was suspended in Brazil because the albiceleste side violated the anti-COVID-19 protocol.

Since the qualifiers started playing in the all-play-all format, the albiceleste and the cariocas have faced each other eight times. The duels have been distributed as follows: two draws, two victories for Argentina, and four for Brazil.

The last victory of the Argentine national team in the qualifiers was in 2005. The team led by Juan Román Riquelme won 3-1 against Ronaldinho, Adriano, and Roberto Carlos' Brazil that night. Historic was the left-footed goal scored by 'El Torero' Riquelme after controlling it with his heel and receiving it from 'Lucho' Gonzáles.

The last victory of the Brazilian team dates back to the qualifiers for Russia 2018 when the cariocas defeated the albiceleste 3-0 with goals from Neymar, Paulinho, and Coutinho.
