Last night, the Brazilian national team secured a 2-1 victory over Colombia in a 2026 World Cup qualifier, with Vinicius Junior scoring the decisive goal from a long-range shot in the ninth minute of added time. However, the match nearly took a different turn for the Real Madrid star.
Just before the final whistle, Vinicius Junior was seen arguing with the referee, but his teammates quickly intervened, pulling him away from the official.
This incident nearly resulted in Vinicius receiving a yellow card, which would have meant a suspension for Brazil’s next match against Argentina.
As a reminder, Lionel Scaloni recently explained why the legendary Lionel Messi will miss the upcoming match against Brazil.
