Emotions were running high in Buenos Aires on Sunday night as Argentinian fans fought among themselves and started riots after their team lost the World Cup final.The chaotic scenes broke out after supporters witnessed their country lose 1-0 to Germany during Sunday night's clash.But after the game, fans wearing the Argentina strip turned on each other in scenes of violence. Riot police - several of whom were injured in the clashes - were also forced to use tear gas and let off water cannons after rocks were thrown and shop fronts were vandalised by a group of young men.Parents with young children could be seen running down streets after police tried to calm the scenes near the city's iconic Obelisk monument.[Thousands of fans had gathered there after the game to applaud Argentina's efforts but chaos soon broke out, leading to several fans being arrested.There were also scenes of discontent between fans outside the Maracana Stadium in the city's capital, which were captured on film. Before the game, there had already been several protests outside the stadium by Brazilians, due to their 'anti-corruption' campaign against FIFA.Many thought the hosts' fans and Argentines would be fighting each other considering the hostile rivalry between the two. But most of the drama appeared to be between Argentines.(dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
