It should be remembered that the games are usually played on a neutral court in this competition, which is equivalent to the BetPlay Cup in Colombia. In this case, the game is played at the Marcelo Bielsa stadium in Rosario, the home ground of Newell’s Old Boys.
The Boca bar broke a gate and was trying to access the sector where the Gimnasia fans were. The police repressed with rubber bullets. “Marcos Rojo and Luis Advíncula ask the agents not to shoot and to calm down the fans,” published the web version of La Nación.
Why did Juan Romaán Riquelme enter the stands?
Then, images circulated on social networks showed the president of the club and former player and idol of Boca, Juan Román Riquelme, stuck in the stands trying to stop his club’s fans.
Along with Riquelme were other former soccer players who were also part of the Boca squad and today part of the Soccer Commission, among them the Colombian Mauricio ‘Chicho’ Serna, Marcelo Delgado and Raúl Cascini.
After several minutes, Riquelme left the stands in the middle of Xeneizes fans, who even took photos of him.
After a waiting time, the game started again and is currently being played.
