Argentinian fans mistakenly stoned their team bus, the Tiger Athletic Clubwhen they were going to sao paulo in a match in the group stage of the South American Cup that the Brazilians won. With a history of bad blood between the two teams after the controversial 2012 tournament final, there was a heavy police presence for the matchup, which Sao Paulo won 2-0.
Tigres midfielder Agustín Cardozo pointed out the incident on Instagram, uploading a photo of a rock in his hands with a broken window in the background and the caption “it’s us.” Although he later deleted the post, Argentine outlet TyC captured video footage of the damage to the vehicle.
In the 2012 final, Sao Paulo led 2-0 and claimed victory after the match was suspended by the referee in the second half due to Tigre’s players refusing to come onto the field. Former coach Néstor Gorosito was among those who said that the Argentine team decided not to play the second half because during halftime, the security of the Morumbi stadium in Brazil attacked them with blows, sticks and even threatened them with weapons. No investigation or suspension took place after the game.
