Law enforcement says an Argentine player struck a Spanish rival during the 2026 World Cup final.

A brief melee followed, then turned into a larger brawl once the final whistle blew.

Officers arrested a handful of supporters in New Jersey when fans came into conflict in the streets.

FIFA opened a probe into the post‑game disorder.

The Argentina skipper published his side’s take after receiving the red card.

Critics are denouncing the unruly behaviour in the stadium and on the streets.
