Hurricane – San Lorenzo: after the pitched battle, the visit left in flip flops due to lack of water in the changing rooms

Much more was fought than played in the neighborhood classic which finished 1-1 between Hurricane AND Saint Lawrence to Tomás Adolfo Ducó. Right from the start, friction was the star of the evening at the Parque de los Patricios. And it all ended in the worst possible way, with a massive brawl and two red cards for the referee, Facundo Tello. After, The away team left in flip flops and without showering at the stadium because they suffered from a lack of water in the away dressing room…

The derby had been very tight and contested, but it hadn’t presented many complications because all the games had been played fairly between the protagonists of both teams. But in the recovery everything got out of hand. Santiago Hezze put in Adam Bareiro hard. Tello charged for the offense in midfield, but Nahuel Barrios came up behind to push. Fernando Tobio came in and eliminated Perrito with a grab of the shirt and the Barça player reacted by grabbing him by the neck.

An unusual picture was given: the shortest in the field (1.56 metres) found himself facing one of the tallest (1.90). The two slapped each other until their comrades tried to pull them apart. Either way, the drive has grown among everyone. A tangle of arms was assembled. Those of the two banks are blown. Some of Dabove’s collaborators were elated. Tello distanced himself and observed everything. He talked to his assistants and got the red card for Tobio and Barrios. Similarly, discussions continued, now between the substitutes. And the judge fired Juan Pizarro and Agustín Giay.

“It’s normal, these are things that remain on the pitch. Everyone defends his. We have courage, courage and commitment. It’s too much for us. We planted ourselves on a complex pitch,” said Augusto Batalla, figure in the derby for important saves in the second half when the venue showed more ambition.

But not everything ended with the final whistle. Once in the visitor’s dressing room, the Cyclone found he had no water to bathe in. The players directed by Insua had to retire in single file in shorts, muscles and flip flops. They got on the bus and went to shower at the club.

Of course, among all the brawls and chicanes, there was one last applause: still on the pitch, Dabove and Gallego Insua set off chatting and embracing each other towards the tunnel. The two coaches have put on cold clothes when it’s hot and have sent out a message that after all it’s all about football.

Good for them.
