Clásico marred by violence: Estudiantes bus attacked by Lobo fans | OneFootball

Violence marred the lead-up to the Platense Classic. Upon arrival at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo to play the fifth round of the Apertura, the Estudiantes de La Plata team was ambushed by a group of Gimnasia fans, who attacked the bus with a barrage of projectiles.

Despite the severity of the attack, which left the vehicle with multiple shattered windows, there were no serious injuries reported. However, the scare was total: players Marcos Angeleri and Leandro Díaz suffered minor cuts from the shattering glass. The "Pincha" delegation, led by their officials, entered the stadium with understandable indignation, making strong complaints about the lack of security.

The bus driver provided details of the incident in a conversation with ESPN: "The problem occurred in the last 15 meters of the route." He also criticized the police operation, pointing out that if they had been accompanied by motorcycles alongside the bus — as the usual protocol dictates — the attack could have been avoided.

In this atmosphere of extreme tension, Yael Falcón Pérez's team will have to administer justice starting at 17:00 in a Bosque that is already red-hot.
