A group of supporters near the field said they had bought tickets and, upon arrival, discovered that the Monumental was full: “They told us that the stadium was full and that the entrances had been closed,” said a fan. he Cordovan at the Todo Noticias signal.
While some have decided to return to their homes in resignation, others have clashed with the police who responded with rubber bullets, as well as attacking water cannons with water. Fans responded with rocks that ended up causing damage to cars parked nearby.
Not only were the fans who had bought tickets specifically for the match hurt by the situation, as there were not a few season-ticket holders who suffered from the situation.
There have been eight arrests so far.
