As the game commenced in Buenos Aires’ Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, the local team, Argentinos Jrs, held a narrow 1-0 lead. This margin felt even smaller considering the game’s back-and-forth pace, with both teams vying for control and pressing for an advantage.
The event occurred as Marcelo, famed for his remarkable footwork and finesse, moved his way past his opponents, unintentionally injuring Sanchez. In a shocking turn of events, Marcelo’s supporting leg landed heavily on Sanchez’s leg while in mid-stride. The Argentine player’s knee was horribly distorted as a result of the extreme power of this unintended stomp, bending it in an awkward, inward angle. The image of Sanchez in misery on the brilliant green turf brought the stadium to a halt. Marcelo watched in disbelief and sorrow as guilt overpowered the Brazilian national.
