巴西阿根廷预赛叫停 0908

Brazil and Argentina's World Cup qualifier was abandoned just minutes after kick-off on Sunday after Brazilian health officials objected to the participation of three Argentine players they believe broke quarantine rules.

The visitors walked off the pitch at the Corinthians Arena after the officials came out to stop the game.

Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni said it was disappointing a resolution could not be found before the game got under way.
