The Brazilian government claim Argentina were made aware of the need to enforce quarantine on their Premier League quartet but refused to do so.
The World Cup qualifier between the two South American nations was halted on Sunday evening after just a matter of minutes.
Health officials and police stormed the pitch and demanded that four Argentines be sent into quarantine.
Covid rules in Brazil state that anyone who has been in the UK within the last 14 days must quarantine.
Emiliano Buendia, Emiliano Martinez, Giovani Lo Celso and Cristian Romero have all been accused of lying on documents they submitted to enter Brazil.
The government have issued an update, stating that they made Argentina aware of the need to quarantine their players on Saturday night - only for them not to comply.
Efforts were then made on Sunday morning to enforce the quarantine.
Brazil authorities add that Argentina's decision to utilise the four players left them with no option but to postpone the game, as they stuck to the laws in place.
The statement read : "This Saturday (September 4), at 5 pm, a meeting was held with the institutions involved, in which the Agency and the São Paulo health authority informed the quarantine contingency.
"However, even after the meeting and communication from the authorities, the players participated in Saturday night training.
"This Sunday morning (September 5), Anvisa notified the Federal Police and, until the start of the game, made an effort, with police support, to enforce the quarantine measure imposed on players, their immediate segregation and their driving to the airport precinct.
"Attempts were frustrated, since the departure of the delegation from the hotel, and even for a considerable time before the start of the game, when the Agency had its actions postponed already in the premises of the Itaquera arena.
"Anvisa's action, in short, was restricted to seeking compliance with Brazilian laws, which would be limited to the segregation of players and their respective fines.
"The decision to interrupt the game was never, in this case, within the Agency's competence.
"However, the selection of players who did not comply with Brazilian laws and the country's health regulations, and who still provided false information to the authorities, did indeed require the State Agency to act in a timely and effective manner."
Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni though claims at no point were they told the Premier League quartet couldn't play.
He said: "It makes me very sad. I’m not looking for any culprits. Whether or not something happened, it was not the time to make that intervention.
"It should have been a party for everyone, to enjoy the best players in the world. I would like the people of Argentina to understand that as a coach I have to defend my players.
"At no time were we notified that they could not play the match. We wanted to play the game, the players from Brazil too."
