The Argentina national team is at the top of the group in the World Cup 2026, with 9 points and 3 victories without defeats in 3 games, and a 5-point lead over Austria. In the third date of the Leagues Cup, Nahuel Guzmán, former goalkeeper of the team, sparked controversy by pushing referee Iván Barton. The incident occurred in the 92nd minute, when Guzmán protested a foul and pushed Barton. The referee showed him a red card and Guzmán went straight to the locker room behind his goal. On the way, he threw a trash can and bumped into a chair, causing damage due to his fury. The match between Tigres and Vancouver Whitecaps was decided by penalties, and Tigres won 5-4. Coach Hernán Elizondo avoided commenting on Guzmán's expulsion. The expulsion puts Guzmán back under the spotlight, as he continues to serve a 7-game suspension for incidents in the final of the Champions Cup against Toluca.
