A lot of strength to Luciano Sánchez who suffered a horrifying injury and will be off the pitch for at least a year. Hopefully I can go back to a normal life at least. Good for Marcelo in his message of solidarity. https://t.co/TAn7RrySJo

Two expulsions, one of Marcelo following the entrance to Sánchez
In the second half, the Rio de Janeiro team went for the tie and had clear chances to equalize the score at La Paternal but, following 13 minutes, “Flu” received another blow: he was left with ten due to the expulsion of Marcelo following the hard tackle on Luciano Sánchez.
In a game that “Bicho” began to manage following Marcelo’s red card, Gabriel Milito’s men received a blow at 30 minutes when their goalkeeper, Alexis Martín Arias, was expelled when colliding with Diogo Barbosa on the edge of the area. Argentinos had already made the five corresponding changes and the coach had to send midfielder Leonardo Heredia to the goal, who defended the fence, which faces Juan Agustín García street, during the last quarter.
