Incredible classic in Uruguay: the Peñarol goalkeeper and a Nacional attacker argued before the start of the match

The superclassics among Penarol AND NationalIt is known that they tend to be very spicy and leave situations that have been discussed for days not only in Uruguay, but also in the rest of the football world. This Friday was not at all holy at the Campeón del Siglo stadium, because two players fought before the ball began to roll in the match valid for the sixth round of the Apertura tournament.

The teams were just at the moment of the protocol greeting when the camera moved towards the local goalkeeper. Washington Aguerre and the visiting attacker Ruben Bentancourtwho found themselves face to face hurling insults of all kinds.

Teammates from both teams intervened there to separate them, while referee Mathias De Armas also intervened to calm things down. Or not so much, because after hearing his words, they both walked away and continued with the verbal attacks.

The reason for the tense face-to-face between Aguerre and Bentancourt is not known at the moment, but it is not known when the shot was fired: the Nacional striker stared at the goalkeeper as soon as they exchanged greetings, perhaps because he denied him the shot high five, common among the protagonists.
