Last night, the Brazilian national team defeated Colombia (2-1) in a World Cup 2026 qualifier, with the winning goal scored by Vinicius Junior from a long-range shot in the ninth minute of added time. However, the match could have ended much worse for the Real Madrid star.
Details: Just before the final whistle, Vinicius Junior began arguing with the referee, but his teammates forcefully pulled him away from the official.
The fact is, due to this behavior, Vinicius was on the verge of receiving a yellow card, which could have sidelined him for the next match against Argentina.
Reminder: Lionel Scaloni revealed the reason why the legendary Lionel Messi will miss the match against Brazil.
