Boca Juniors will receive this Sunday Aldosivi from Mar del Plata in La Bombonera after the suspension of his visit to Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata due to serious acts of violence that led to the death of a fanlast Thursday at the Bosque stadium.
The match corresponding to the 24th. The date of the Professional Football League (LPF) will begin at 6:00 p.m., it will be refereed by Silvio Trucco and broadcast by TNT Sports.
With the same objective as today, that is, to recover the lead, the “xeneize” appeared on Thursday at the Gimnasia court after Atlético Tucumán (44) temporarily surpassed him by two points with his last victory against Platense.
But sports was out of focus in La Plata when only 9 minutes were played of the first half and the referee Hernán Mastrángelo decided to stop the ball due to the impressive noise of tear gas and rubber bullets that came from outside the stadium.
The incidents began when the police decided to disperse an unknown number of fans who tried to enter the field, some of them allegedly without tickets.
The smoke from the gases caused a rampage inside the stadium and thousands of fans, after verifying that the exits were closed by order of the security operation, had to jump onto the field of play to escape suffocation and burning.
In the midst of the chaos, César “Lolo” Regueiro, 57, who was in the local town with his family, suffered cardiac decompensation due to the nervousness of the situation and the unbreathable atmosphere.
The victim was treated at the scene and then transferred by private ambulance to the San Martín hospital, where he arrived lifeless.
Boca is the only team that depends on itself to be championand he will get it if he wins all the remaining matches: Aldosivi, Sarmiento de Junín (V), Newell’s Old Boys de Rosario (V), Independiente (L) and Gimnasia, whose suspended match will resume on Wednesday, October 19 at scheduled time. and stage to be confirmed.
In the midst of these commitments, the team of “Black” Hugo Ibarra will play one of the semifinals of the Argentine Cup against Patronato de Paraná.
With the return of Guillermo “Pol” Fernández for Cristian Medina in the rear, Boca will face a rival this Sunday that plays its last chips to try to stay in the First Division.
The “Shark” from Mar del Plata has it very complicated: it must stay above Patronato, which it leads by one point, and deduct seven from Arsenal with only 12 to play.
With Diego Villar ratified as DT after the departure of Leandro Somoza, Aldosivi beat Barracas Central last date (2-0) after stringing together six defeats.
Today he will go for the heroic in La Bombonera and then the rest will be played against Banfield Cordoba Workshops and San Lorenzo (V).
