The Argentina national team reaching the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup left an endless number of unforgettable images. The comeback against Egypt, which ended in a nail-biting 3-2 thanks to Enzo Fernández’s stoppage-time goal, triggered a real frenzy among the thousands of Argentine supporters cheering from the Atlanta stadium.
In that context, a video featuring Marley began to circulate vigorously on social media. While celebrating the decisive goal, embraced by other fans, a man approached him and kissed him in the midst of the emotion. The scene quickly went viral and aroused the curiosity of many users, who began wondering who the protagonist of the unexpected gesture was.
Far from being an official appearance or a situation tied to the host’s private life, the man in question is Francisco Delgado, winner of Big Brother 2015 and a well-known figure in television.
It was Delgado himself who shared the video on his Instagram account, where he explained that the kiss was simply a spontaneous reaction to the emotion he felt with the historic qualification of the Scaloneta.
“Sorry @marley_ok, but on the third goal I needed to vent. I love you Argentina… I love you Leo! I love being Argentinian, I can’t take it anymore. I am happy”, he wrote alongside the images that quickly began to be shared across platforms.
In the video, Marley is shown in a completely ecstatic state, celebrating the goal that sealed Argentina’s comeback. Amid hugs, jumps, and shouts, Francisco Delgado steps closer to celebrate with him and gives him a kiss that surprised even the host, though they both continued celebrating amid laughter and embraces with the rest of the fans.
Marley is experiencing the World Cup from the United States, where he travels with the national team and shares daily moments from the stands and around the stadiums. In recent weeks he had already starred in other viral videos alongside figures such as Susana Giménez, with whom he celebrated one of the goals against Cape Verde.
Now, after the qualification to the quarterfinals, the host will be back present at the next match for the national team against Switzerland, while the amusing kiss video continues to accumulate views and comments on social networks.
Beyond the surprise the scene generated, the episode was nothing more than a display of the euphoria sparked by one of the Argentina national team’s most thrilling victories in this World Cup, a night that fans will hardly forget.
