Juan Sebastian Verón Reacts to Violence in Lanús (ARG) Qualification at Maracanã

The midweek is marked by matches between Brazilian and Argentine teams in continental competitions. The first of these took place on Tuesday (23), when Lanús (ARG) eliminated Fluminense in the South American Cup. However, the negative highlight of the game was the violence against the Argentine fans at Maracanã.

Juan Sebastian Verón, president of Estudiantes (ARG), opponent of Flamengo this Thursday (25), for the Copa Libertadores, commented on the situation. The leader of the La Plata team made a post on social media complaining about the recurrence of the situation.

“This keeps happening and nothing changes. Now it happened with the Lanús fans and we continue to see the same episodes in the same places,” wrote Verón, who shared the news: “Repression of Brazilian police against Lanús fans at Maracanã and game halted.”

During the match interval, the game was delayed for a few minutes due to the confusion in the stands. Even the Lanús players turned towards the visitors' section to see what was happening among the fans.

COME ON, VERÓN?

Last Thursday (18), Flamengo and Estudiantes, Verón's team, faced each other at Maracanã without major incidents. On that occasion, Mengão won 2-1, with goals from Pedro and Varela. Guido Carrillo scored in injury time of the second half.

MORE BRAZIL VS ARGENTINA THIS WEEK?

Besides Lanús vs Fluminense, two more Brazil vs Argentina matches are happening this midweek. On Wednesday (24), Palmeiras hosts River Plate (ARG) on the synthetic field of Allianz Parque. Meanwhile, Flamengo travels to La Plata to face Estudiantes.
