Estudiantes fans were present in the neutral format according to the football organization in Santiago del Estero, with a large number of fans on a stifling day with temperatures of more than 41 degrees, power outages and an endless path.
The fans, who could not bring flags or shirts, were singing tonight at the Madre de Ciudades and clearly left messages from the entrance to the end for Claudio Tapia and Pablo Tovigino, the visible faces of the AFC, who faced the club and the character of Juan Sebastian Veron. They also faced some complications when entering the stands, as the local police prevented them from entering with seeds, headphones, and red shirts (without having any connection to the club).
Of course, this critical stance made the local fans disavow as they take both personalities into consideration well as football in this province has grown a lot in parallel with the controversy in several matches of Ferroviario, Gomez and Sarmiento de la Banda.
Moreover, the players did not have a good time either, as they were unable to contact the fans upon their arrival in Santiago del Estero, and they did not have electricity during their hotel stay. There is no doubt that these are facts that have not gone unnoticed. Local police even took out banners from fans reading “United against all”, making clear the organisation’s position.
