Shocking footage has emerged from Belo Horizonte which shows bottles being used as missiles as groups of rival fans clash, reports Jack Lang in Belo Horizonte
There were scenes of violence on the streets of Belo Horizonte last night as Argentina fans clashed with locals.
The Albiceleste faithful have been out in force since the start of the World Cup but the rivalry between South America's premier footballing nations had been cordial in the opening week of the tournament.
That changed on Friday, however, as fighting broke out between rival supporters in the leafy Savassi neighbourhood - where many Argentines were staying ahead of the game against Iran.
Local reports suggest that partisan chanting led to scuffles, with bottles then being thrown.
The crowds were dispersed by police, who used shock grenades. One Brazilian was injured, although not seriously.
