Argentina's international Enzo Fernández has etched his name into World Cup history in a dramatic fashion, receiving a red card during his country's clash against Spain in the 2026 World Cup final.
The Argentine midfielder received a second yellow card, followed by a red, in the third minute of stoppage time in the second half, becoming the sixth player in World Cup history to be sent off during the final.
This statistic highlights the prominent presence of Argentine players in this historical list, as three out of the six red cards issued in World Cup final matches have been awarded to 'Tango dancers'.
Enzo Fernández's red card was a significant blow for the Argentine national team in the dying moments of the 2026 World Cup final, as the team was forced to finish the remaining minutes with ten players after the Tango player made a violent challenge on Spain's defender, Kobarci.
