Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte made an obscene gesture towards Rodrigo De Paul during an ill-tempered World Cup qualifier on Thursday night as Argentina suffered a shock 2-0 home defeat.
In the first half of the clash in Buenos Aires, Ugarte got into an exchange with De Paul where he appeared to call him 'Lionel Messi's c**k sucker'.
The gesture drew an angry reaction from De Paul, and it was not the only time that tempers threatened to boil over, as Messi had to be held back after putting his hands on the throat of Mathias Olivera.
