And this Wednesday, in the preview of the match for the 16th final that Boca disputes with Ferro from 4 in the afternoon, everything went on with the same melody. Everything changed a few minutes before the players went out on the pitch to warm up. It was 3.12pm when TyC Sports cameras captured a savage assault in one of the side stands of the Carlos Mercado Luna stadium.

As it was possible to reconstruct through the images, a young man with a yellow jersey with the name of Marcos Rojo on the back wanted to draw out a flag that would cover the view of the audience towards the playing field. When they saw what was happening, a group of fans went looking for him and beat him savagely.
A few minutes later, when the players went out to warm up, the problem was gone.
