Spain and Argentina faced off in the FIFA World Cup Final at New York-New Jersey Stadium Sunday, with Spain coming out on top by scoring a goal in extra time. The final, which drew 80,000 people, celebrities and President Donald Trump, also featured the first FIFA final halftime show, with headliners Madonna, Justin Bieber, Shakira and BTS.
The Hollywood Reporter was on scene to witness it all, as well as a few more things that weren’t seen on camera.
A post-game fight
After Spain clinched the final 1-0, the Spanish team rushed to hug each other on field and celebrate. But what was not shown on many broadcasts was that this quickly turned into a physical confrontation between Argentinian and Spanish players.
The fight was quickly broken up, as the Spanish team continued celebrating and Argentinian players largely sat or laid on the grass while waiting for the trophy presentation.
