São Paulo police invoke reciprocity, stop Boca hotel party ahead of decider | OneFootball

The Civil Police confirmed the adoption of a reciprocity protocol for the decisive clash between São Paulo and Boca Juniors, valid for the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Tuesday (15), at Morumbi. Tricolor need to overturn a one-goal deficit against the Argentines.

The information was initially reported by TMC radio.

According to delegate César Saad, the São Paulo authorities authorized the Argentine fans to use at Morumbi the same support materials that had been allowed for São Paulo supporters in the first leg at La Bombonera last week.

In return, the principle of equal treatment will also be applied to restrictions outside the stadium: the reception by fans for the Boca Juniors squad, planned for the delegation’s arrival at the hotel, was prohibited.

According to Saad, the measure follows the same standard imposed on Tricolor supporters in Argentina. And the Riot Police Battalion has already been called in to monitor compliance with the measure in the surroundings of the place where the xeneize team will be staying.

Last week, Argentina’s federal police blocked organized Tricolor supporter groups from entering Buenos Aires to welcome the delegation at the hotel. The fans present at the site were dispersed, and accusations of abuse of authority by the local authorities were recorded.
