Enzo Fernandez Joins World Cup Final Red Card Hall of Shame
Fernandez became the sixth player sent off in a World Cup final, and Argentina now holds the record for most final red cards, AFP said.
- On Sunday, Argentina's Enzo Fernandez became the sixth player sent off in a World Cup Final, giving his country an unwanted record for the most red cards in tournament final history.
- Fernandez received his second yellow card in injury time for a late tackle on Spain's Pau Cubarsi, having been booked for dissent just ten minutes earlier.
- By the 70th minute, Lionel Messi's team had managed merely one touch in their opposition's penalty area, as Spain dominated and Argentina failed to register a shot throughout the match.
- Argentina will play on with 10 men after the 2026 World Cup Final entered extra-time, following goalkeeper Emi Martinez's save of a late Lamine Yamal free-kick.
- Fernandez joins players like Netherlands' John Heitinga and France's Marcel Desailly sent off in finals, as teams often employ physical intimidation to unsettle opponents in decisive matches.
