Scandal in Paraná: Patronato players attacked after defeat to Colón | OneFootball

Patronato’s 3–0 defeat to Colón in Santa Fe triggered a serious episode of violence when the squad returned to Paraná. On Saturday night, after the Matchday 25 game in Zone B of the Primera Nacional, a group of people attacked the players in the vicinity of the Presbítero Bartolomé Grella Stadium.

Among the injured players were goalkeeper and captain Alan Sosa, who had bruising on his face, and defender Facundo Díaz, who suffered a cut to the head that required bandaging. Images of both players showing visible signs of the assault were shared on social media by sports journalist Gabriel Obelar. It is suspected that other members of the squad were also attacked, although there are no official details.

Entre Ríos Police are investigating the case through their Investigations Division. Security cameras in the area are expected to be reviewed to clarify the sequence of events. The attack comes at a critical time for the club from Entre Ríos. Under Marcelo Candia, Patronato have gone 11 matches without a win, sit second from bottom in their group with 24 points, and remain in the direct relegation places. As of Sunday morning, the club had not issued any official statement on the matter.
