RIYADH (Reuters) - Argentina captain Lionel Messi and Brazil coach Tite exchanged words during the clash between the South American giants on Friday but it was the forward who had the last laugh after his team's good run continued with a 1-0 win in Saudi Arabia.
Messi looked to the touchline and put his fingers to his lips before making another hand sign that appeared to tell the Brazil coach he had too much to say for himself.
"I complained because he should have been shown a yellow card and he told me to shut my mouth and I told him to shut his mouth," Tite said."And that was it." The Barcelona forward was one of the outstanding performers for Argentina on his return to international football after missing four games through suspension.
The result was encouraging for Argentina, who have now gone six games without defeat -- their longest such run since 2016.
