A brief skirmish broke out on the pitch of the FIFA World Cup final shortly after the final whistle blew and signaled Spain’s 1-0 extra time victory over Argentina on Sunday.

Argentinian midfielder Leandro Paredes was seen shoving and grabbing Spanish player Eric García by the throat, before launching an attack on Spain captain Rodrigo Hernández Cascante, aka Rodri. A second Argentinian player, Nahuel Molina, also jumped into the scrap, seen throwing jabs at members of the Spanish squad.

BBC soccer analyst Alan Shearer claimed that Paredes instigated the fight, saying he “went for them” and threw “two or three haymakers into someone’s face.”

Amid the physical confrontation, Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni tried to intervene and separate his players before the fight escalated even further.

Paredes was given a red card, which triggers an automatic suspension for the next match he’s scheduled to play in. However, further disciplinary action may be taken due to public calls for Paredes to face a longer suspension.

The Tate Brothers’ Legal Problems Are Getting Worse. Here’s the Latest

Andrew Tate, the infamous internet misogynist and human-trafficking suspect, was arrested in Miami alongside his brother Tristan on Saturday after the U.K. leveled new charges of rape and child exploitation against them. A one-minute clip of U.S. marshals putting the two in handcuffs quickly went viral, with their ill-fitting outfits and especially Andrew’s gaping purple blouse inspiring widespread mockery. But the new charges brought by the U.K.’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) are no laughing matter, and the Tate brothers are currently being held in a federal detention center awaiting an extradition process to potentially face trial in the U.K.

This is separate from the ongoing Romanian investigation into the Tates on suspicion of human trafficking, the trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor, and money laundering. According to Romanian authorities, the brothers are suspected of convincing dozens of women that they were in relationships to coerce them into making pornography that was sold for more than $2.8 million and close to a million crypto tokens online.
