According to Clarin , River Plate defender Marcos Acuna started the incident. The 2022 World Cup champion and Argentina national team made provocative comments towards the Inter Milan bench after his team was 0-2 down.

Inter defender Denzel Dumfries immediately responded and asked to talk to Acuna in the tunnel. The two had repeatedly clashed and had a feud before, creating a tense atmosphere throughout the match.

When the final whistle blew, Acuna was furious and rushed to Dumfries to argue. The Inter defender chose to quickly move into the tunnel.

Several Inter and River Plate players intervened to stop Acuna, and quickly dragged Dumfries into the tunnel to avoid the fight. Inter coach Cristian Chivu also rushed onto the pitch and tried to stop Acuna from approaching Dumfries.

In the stands, many River Plate fans threw strange objects onto the pitch towards Dumfries. Security and officials had to stop the fanatic group. River Plate fans also criticized their team's players for their poor performance.

Clarin described the scuffle between Acuna and Dumfries as a shameful moment at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. River Plate left an ugly image at this year's tournament when they could not control their emotions after losing to Inter.

This is not the first time Dumfries and Acuna have faced each other. At the 2022 World Cup, Dumfries was the one who fouled Acuna in the penalty area when the Netherlands faced Argentina in the quarter-finals.

In the last match, Inter and River Plate played a draw in the first 45 minutes. In the second half, Esposito opened the scoring for Inter in the 72nd minute. The turning point of the match happened when River Plate's Quarta was sent off, leaving the Argentine team with only 10 men. At the end of the match, Bastoni scored the winning goal for Inter, 2-0.

Inter and Monterrey are the two teams that have advanced from Group E of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™. In the round of 16, Inter will face Fluminense, while Monterrey will face Dortmund.
