Racing fans banned from Banfield ground after River trouble | OneFootball

The Ministry of Security of the province of Buenos Aires, through the Agency for the Prevention of Violence in Sports (APreViDe), announced that the match between Banfield and Racing will not have visiting fans. The authorities and the organizers had planned to welcome supporters of the Academia.

The match will take place on Saturday, October 11, at 7:00 PM at the Florencio Sola stadium, for the 12th round of the Torneo Clausura of the Professional League. The curious aspect is the reason given in the statement, which led to the reversal of the previously adopted decision.

The statement refers to the behavior of Racing fans during the Copa Argentina match this past Thursday in Rosario (against River). Specifically, it mentions the launching of flares 15 minutes into the second half, which filled the field with smoke and even caused a fire.

What happened forced referee Hernán Mastrángelo to stop the match for about 10 minutes. The game then resumed and ended with a 1-0 victory for the Millonario, with a goal from Maximiliano Salas, securing their place in the semifinals of the competition.
