They set fire to the cars of Aldosivi footballers: the background that Pity Martínez suffered when he played at River

Aldosivi played a very important stage in Mendoza. dealt with Godoy Cruz, a direct contender in the fight for permanence, having lost five of the previous seven games. The 2-0 defeat against Tomba by goals from Salomón Rodríguez and Tadeo Allende further complicated Tiburón, who cannot find their way.

This, added to the increase in Central Cordobawho won 2 out of 4 since the arrival of Abele Balbo, led a group of people (barrabravas?) to enter the property adjacent to the Punta Mogotes spa complex, where the Somoza players had left their cars, and set five of them on fire. A bad way to protest against poor sporting results.

“I have been in football for several years and I have never had to go through a situation like this”were the words of Santiago Silva when you arrive at the Aeroparque, even if the truth is that it is not the first time that there has been vandalism of this type in Argentine football.

One of the most remembered cases of recent times is the one he suffered Gonzalo Martinez. Later he was idolized for his dominant role in the champion team Libertadores Cup 2018, the Pieta was highly opposed by River fans in its early days.

The point of greatest tension was in a match against Quilmes at Monumental, for the first date of the 2016 Transition Tournament: he converted a target and silenced those who booed him.

A year later, in February 2017, he suffered a fire in his vehicle, which was parked in front of his house in the Villa Urquiza neighborhood. “It was one o’clock in the morning and a neighbor, shouting, told me that my car was on fire. It was shocking”, detailed at the time.

The transmission of a video from the security cameras made it clear that this was not an accident, but something intentional. Evaristo, the manager of the neighboring building, provided more information. “A man went by with a bicycle and left a bottle. Immediately I saw smoke coming out and a big fire.”added the main witness of the event.
