Leandro Paredes was shown a red card after the full-time whistle for placing his hand around Spain defender Eric Garcia's throat before kicking him to the floor. The Argentina midfielder then engaged in a heated confrontation with Gavi, appearing to swipe at his head and pushing him to the ground.
FIFA's Response
In response to these incidents, FIFA is expected to launch an investigation, according to Sky Sports. The governing body will review the events and determine potential sanctions against the players involved.
