Platense fans did not take their Copa Libertadores elimination well at all and nearly caused a tragedy at Vicente López when Fluminense celebrated their place in the semifinals with their supporters.
Some of the home side’s barra bravas invaded the field after the match against Fluminense ended, fought with the Brazilian side’s fans who were shouting “eliminated” at them, attacked the players, and stole one of the rival team’s flags.
The police stepped in at the right moment before anything worse happened. Meanwhile, Conmebol requested that the feed be cut while GE TV was broadcasting.
