APREVIDE punish Racing over fans’ behaviour in Rosario | OneFootball

Racing and its fans will suffer the consequences of the actions of the fans for throwing flares onto the field at the Gigante de Arroyito and delaying the match they lost against River.

This Saturday, the "Academia" will visit Banfield for the Torneo Clausura, a match in which the visit of the Avellaneda fans to Florencio Sola was planned, although what happened in Rosario made Aprevide backtrack.

The Agency for the Prevention of Violence in Sports announced that there will be no visiting fans in the South and explained: "Although the authorities and the organization had planned for the match to have the presence of both sets of fans, it was decided that only supporters of the local side will attend."

The measure is in line with what happened at the Gigante de Arroyito, but also with the statement issued by "La Guardia Imperial" regarding the incident and the criticism it received for its actions.

"The pre-game, the decorations, the party, and the chaos we will always do," they declared in a post on their personal Instagram.

The Racing hooligans responded to the criticism for the suspension of the match against River: «People will never be convinced»

After the defeat against River, Racing fans questioned the actions of their hooligans for throwing flares onto the field which caused the delay of the match during "the team's best moment."

In response to the wave of criticism, the "Guardia Imperial" made their statement and an unusual post on their personal Instagram account in which they also called for calm and focus on the Copa Libertadores: "the most important thing."

"If we do, it's because we do, if we don't, it's because we don't, people will never be convinced," they wrote while showing two comments among the many received.

Continuing, they warned that "the pre-game, the decorations, the party, and the chaos we will always do," while making their statement: "We are used to criticism."

Interestingly, there was a call for unity for what is to come: "We must rise to the occasion, the most important thing remains, which is the Libertadores, let's take a breath because there's still a lot to go and important things."
