Maluma, the renowned Colombian singer and passionate football enthusiast, attended the match at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium. Cameras captured the artist visibly affected and upset, apparently due to the decisions of the match officials during the sports event, emotions that reflected the feelings of millions of Colombians hoping to see their team crowned champions.

Maluma’s reaction was not confined to the stadium stands. A video went viral on social media showing him engaged in a heated argument. Initially, it was thought that the reggaeton singer from Medelln was criticizing the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for not awarding a penalty in favor of Colombia, but it was later clarified that his anger was directed towards Argentine fans with whom he had a verbal exchange.

This situation divided fans. Some felt Maluma represented true Colombian fans frustrated with the refereeing, while others believed he should not have acted that way towards rival team supporters, as they had no control over what happened on the field.

The match was marked by controversy, especially regarding the use of VAR. A play in the second half, where a potential penalty for Colombia was not given, sparked outrage among Colombian players and fans.

Despite the defeat, Maluma was seen interacting not only with the performer of the official team song, Ryan Castro, but also with other musicians who attended to support the Colombian team, such as Karol G, Feid, Blessed, Sebastin Yatra, and Juanes. They all united in solidarity with the national team, demonstrating their enthusiasm and resilience despite the adverse result.
