Argentina fans came beat up a Croatian fan at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium on Thursday after the two-time world champions were crushed 3-0.
In a video which went viral on social media, several others could also be seen coming to the rescue of the Croat, who lay helplessly on the ground. Some Argentine fans shouted “no” and tried to break up the fight
The fight was quickly broken when a woman intervened. The Nizhny Novgorod police said there were “no significant violations of law and order” after the match.
FIFA said they were shocked with the incident which would have left a sour taste on the mouths of the Croats after a memorable win.
“FIFA firmly condemns the behaviour of these so-called fans and reiterates that violence has no place in football,” the spokesperson said.
