In the video, one can see an Indian man named Yadil M Iqbal standing next to an Argentinian woman named Leti Estévez. The clip starts with Iqbal saying in Malayalam that he spotted Leti during Argentina's game and that she is wearing the tricolour in response to the love and support that the Argentina team is receiving from the Indians. He adds that whenever he spots a football fan from Brazil, Portugal or any other nation, he shows them photographs from Kerala as proof of the state's love for football.
