Argentina Represented Themselves in 'Best Possible Way' at World Cup: Enzo Fernandez
The Chelsea midfielder’s dismissal left Argentina with 10 men and made them the first team with three World Cup final red cards.
- Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández was sent off after a reckless challenge on Spain's Pau Cubarsi in stoppage time during Monday's World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium, leaving Argentina down to 10 men.
- Slovenian referee Slavko Vinčić issued the second yellow card after teams had finished 90 minutes deadlocked at 0-0, with Fernández having received an earlier caution for an unnecessary foul.
- Fernández joined Pedro Monzón and Gustavo Dezotti, both dismissed in the 1990 World Cup Final against West Germany, making Argentina the first national team with three players sent off in finals.
- This dismissal ended a 16-year streak, as Fernández became the first player sent off in a World Cup Final since Dutch defender John Heitinga in 2010 in South Africa.
- Playing with 10 men for the entirety of extra time completely altered manager Lionel Scaloni's tactical approach as Spain eventually won 1-0 on Ferran Torres's 106th-minute strike.
