😳 Grindetti at CONMEBOL: We're here to avoid any kind of sanction

After yesterday's incidents, Nestor Grindetti, president of Independiente, traveled to the CONMEBOL headquarters in Paraguay to present the perspective of the Red team.

"We have come to recount the facts that the match was canceled due to the ATTITUDE of Chile's supporters. We will defend Independiente's interests and those of its people. It is clear that the vandalism was committed by Chilean supporters from the start of the match. CONMEBOL decided to cancel the match as a result of these events. We will defend all rights, REQUEST THE POINTS, and ensure that Independiente DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY TYPE OF PUNISHMENT".

"We preferred to give a complete stand, so that there would be no mixing of fan groups. How can you prevent someone from going to a bathroom, REMOVING THE TOILETS AND THROWING THEM AT THOSE BELOW? It is impossible to prevent that type of vandalism".
