Mac Allister involved in Argentina brawl as Nunez lays on floor
Alexis Mac Allister and Darwin Nunez found themselves at the center of a bad-tempered clash as Argentina got the better of Uruguay in World Cup qualifying.
It was a challenge on Liverpool striker Nunez that saw both sides clash before the break.
Cuti Romero’s tackle on Nunez left the Reds’ star in a heap on the floor, with Uruguay’s players clearly unhappy.
As they began to argue with Tottenham’s Cristian Romero and Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez, Mac Allister rushed in to defend his teammates, pushing Mathias Olivera as the situation threatened to get ugly.
Fortunately, Mac Allister escaped without any punishment, while Nunez was okay to continue the game, although he couldn’t inspire Uruguay to a victory to boost his country’s hopes of qualifying for next year’s World Cup.
