The Leprosa leadership points to two events: the motorcycles that arrived near the Coloso and a banner displayed by the Central team.

"The operation of the Rosario classic was carried out with total normality, as planned,” confirmed in a press conference by the provincial coordinator of Sports Security and Mass Events, Gustavo Velázquez, who also stated that “a minimal part of the people who attended the Newell’s stadium decided to cause incidents”.

From Parque Independencia, they do not agree with these statements. So much so that, in the coming hours, they will file a formal complaint highlighting certain points that, according to the Leprosa leadership, were not fulfilled and that, due to these shortcomings, the safety of Newell’s fans was at risk.

The first point for which an observation will be made from the Lepra is regarding the motorcycles that accompanied the Central team and arrived practically near the Marcelo Bielsa stadium.

The Arrival of Central at the Coloso

Additionally, the Canalla fans who accompanied the auriazul team uploaded images to social networks verbally assaulting the Leprosa fans who were arriving peacefully at the stadium.

The first point for which an observation will be made from the Lepra is regarding the motorcycles that accompanied the Central team and arrived practically near the Marcelo Bielsa stadium.

Regarding this issue, Velázquez stated: "The arrival of the teams at the stadium and the presence of the public in it was normal. Upon exit, a minimal part of the fans decided to create disturbances and the police did their job as appropriate.”

Claim of Incitement to Violence

The other issue for which the rojinegra entity will file a complaint is the banner that was hung on the bus transporting the Central team. "The father of the 21st century" read the message hanging from the bus that left from Arroyo Seco and arrived at the Coloso del Parque.

From Newell’s, they observe that, in the effort to calm the prelude to the Rosario classic, this type of gesture incites violence. Fortunately, there were no aggressions from the rojinegra supporters, and the Central team arrived without issues at the stadium.

Following the presentation by the Leprosa leadership, a response from the Provincial Ministry of Security is awaited.
