The Nacional fans who threw stones were in the Abdón Porte grandstand and crossed towards the Atilio García to launch projectiles towards the Héctor Scarone grandstand where the Peñarol fans were located.
They did so after Peñarol supporters showed an inflatable chicken and a flag with the name “Washi”, alluding to a murdered Nacional fan.
