Argentina midfielder Leandro Paredes received a 10-match suspension, while teammates Nahuel Molina and Thiago Almada were also banned. Additionally, Spain's Gavi was suspended for his involvement in the on-pitch altercation.
In addition to the player suspensions, the Argentine federation received a $321,000 fine. The financial penalty was levied by FIFA specifically in response to the team displaying a Falkland Islands banner following their semifinal victory over England.
