Uruguay ended Argentina's 14-match unbeaten streak with a 2-0 victory over the world champions in FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers on Thursday.

Defender Ronald Araujo fired Uruguay ahead on 41 minutes before Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez made the game safe with an 87th-minute goal on the counterattack to settle a hard-fought clash at the Bombonera Stadium in Buenos Aires.

The game was filled with clashes and one of them included a verbal fight between Uruguay's Manuel Ugarte and Argentina's Rodrigo de Paul.

Ugarte made an obscene gesture towards De Paul that seemigly involved Messi. Ugarte allegedly said De Paul that the World Cup winner is Messi's "bottle feeder".
