The competition has been taking place in Sweden from July 7 to July 20, with competitors still in the competition now reaching the crunch rounds in their bid for success.

It was a well-mannered game, but, after, tempers flared and the two stars, from Argentina and Chile respectively, exchanged words with a threat thrown in too.
