Independiente chiefs in Paraguay after chaos to defend club interests | OneFootball

Independiente's leaders, Néstor Grindetti -president-, Carlos Montaña -vice president- and Daniel Seoane -general secretary-, along with lawyer Maximiliano Walker, traveled to Paraguay this Thursday to meet with CONMEBOL executives after the barbarity that occurred on Wednesday night in Avellaneda, which forced the cancellation of the match against Universidad de Chile and caused at least 19 supporters to be hospitalized, according to the visiting team (the Buenos Aires Police speak of seven).

«The match was canceled due to the attitude of the Chilean fans. We came to tell what happened to us and to defend the interests and people of Independiente. It is clear in the images that the vandalism was committed by the Chileans from the start of the match. A hole is formed in the stands because they start throwing things. CONMEBOL cancels the match due to these events», assured the leader of the Red with TyC Sports after arriving at the airport.

«We are going to talk to CONMEBOL officials to convey this. We don't have a scheduled meeting with Alejandro Domínguez or anyone in particular, but we are here to make ourselves available. We will defend all the rights of Independiente, ask for the points not to receive any kind of punishment and that the punishment be for those who really committed the vandalism», he completed.
