This is not a time travel. Of course not. No capsule. Nor, the famous De Lorean by Doc Emmet Brown initiated by Marty Mc Fly in Back to the Future. However, those coming to Lanús court can live an experience of the past. Football with fans on both stands. And if that’s not enough, it’s a classic. Playing Racing-Boca and the stands are full, as at that time when you can go on any field. On neutral ground, the Academy covers the local header and the xeneizes, usually reserved for visitors. And with the exception of one prisoner deactivated in the blue and gold bars, only a folkloric party is experienced at the stands.
The Twelve occupies the central sector with its usual flags. The buses escorted by Buenos Aires Police entered via Esquiú and Purita, accessing from Hipólito Yrigoyen (formerly Pavón). Half an hour was missing and a dozen buses belonging to the Lomas faction, driven by Maxi Mazzaro, Walter Coronel and Fido Debaux, dropped to 400 bars. “They came to spoil it with the officer“, They said Clarion operating authority which includes 1,300 agents, 1,000 from Buenos Aires and 300 from private security.
The police stopped the herd, but they mingled with the common people. From the sky, the drone shot everyone. And when the first half was over, they left. There, a debris entered waiting to drain. No need for infantry to intervene.
In other words, there were 30 detainees, including several rags, drunk and trespassing, according to police sources.

There were also connection problems, which complicated not only the media that needed to work, but also the controls that needed to validate the QR of tickets purchased by fans through the online system.
Just yesterday, there were 1,500 tickets for Racing fans sold through the electronic ticketing system.
Access was not broken because people started arriving too early. The Imperial Guard moved to the other sector, drums in tow. They entered the streets of Guidi and Cabrero, via Lanús Este. At all times, any crossing with Boca fans was avoided.

There was only time for the round trip from grandstand to grandstand, the common legend that lived until, 10 years ago, the attendance of public field visits of our country was prohibited. The exception is this type of encounter on neutral ground. As was the case with the Copa Argentina, something that was repeated at the Néstor Díaz Pérez stadium. It will be the same way this afternoon in Huracan, where Argentinos and Tigers will face each other and next week in Cordoba, venue of the final where Boca will be.
Noisy two biases. There were moments of tension, especially in the first half, attacking the Racing and he beat Agustín Rossi.
33,000 seats were sold in a stadium with a capacity for 47,000 spectators. On the face of it, it’s possible more people attended than officially announced.
Racing fans came out first. Boca staff will have to wait at least 45 minutes to leave the stadium. No one complained, of course. They are happy for the painful classification of penalties.

The League welcomed the public’s behavior through social networks. Not bad. In other words, football with two fans should be common. It’s a game, after all. One wins, one loses. Life goes on.
