The final match in New Jersey concluded not with a sporting acknowledgment, but with a physical altercation. Following the final whistle, when the Spanish reserves entered the field to celebrate their victory, tension erupted. Argentine defender Nahuel Molina initiated the confrontation by swinging at the captain of Spain, Rodri, and subsequently punching him in the abdomen.
This initial exchange quickly escalated into a larger scuffle. Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes became involved, receiving a yellow card for rough play. Paredes was observed grabbing the Spanish defender, Eric Garcia, by the throat.
Subsequently, with assistance from Thiago Almed, Paredes brought 21-year-old Gavio to the ground. The atmosphere deteriorated rapidly, leading to a mass confrontation involving players from both sides. The incident required intervention from multiple individuals, including team personnel and the Argentine selector, to regain control of the situation.
The sequence of events highlighted the high emotions present in the aftermath of the game.
