Another violent night in Brazil: River and Argentine fans were attacked

As soon as it was known that the “Bug” would face the “Flu” in this round trip, the security authorities set off the alarms due to the great friendship between the fans of Fluminense and Vélez, Argentinos Juniors’ staunch rival.

So much so that in the first leg a large portion of Fortineros fans accompanied the Rio de Janeiro team at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

For the second leg, a hostile climate was expected in Rio de Janeiro added to the attacks suffered by River’s supporters when they visited the Maracana in the group stage to face Fernando Diniz’s team.

The “Tricolor” hunt began on Monday night when part of the Brazilian team’s twisted team ambushed a group of fans of the Paternal club and stole their belongings, including a “Bicho” shirt.

At noon on Tuesday, the violence continued on the part of the Fluminense supporters who surrounded an Argentinos Juniors fan to savagely beat him until the appearance of the barrabrava of the Argentine team who retaliated and defended the sympathizer of the attack.

For this incident, there are several Argentines detained after leaving several cariocas injured.

For their part, in Porto Alegre, River supporters approached the Beira Rio stadium early to take their corresponding location and not suffer altercations or attacks with the crooked “Colorado” that in Argentina was received, hosted and accompanied by the fans of Independent, together with a faction of Barón Rojo Sur, the barrabrava of América de Cali.

These precautionary measures taken by the “Millionaires” fans were not enough since, On the outer beach of the visiting sector of the World Cup venue, several Gaucho bars jumped over the fence that separates the stadium from the sidewalk and went to attack several of those who were trying to enter the field.

The security forces came to separate and the supporters of the International jumped over the wire fence to return to the street.
