SAN JUAN, Argentina (Reuters) - Brazil held Argentina to a 0-0 draw in San Juan on Tuesday but Brazilian coach Tite angrily hit out at what he said was an “inconceivable” decision taken - or not taken - by officials manning the video assistant referee (VAR).

Tite felt Argentine defender Nicolas Otamendi should have been punished for elbowing winger Raphinha in the first half.
