It’s a red hell, game following game, frustration following frustration. Independiente was almost condemned not to qualify for the quarterfinals of the League Cup, following the poor 1-1 draw at home once morest Aldosivi, who played with 10 players for an hour due to the expulsion of midfielder Leandro Maciel. The hot moment of the entity was reflected in the confrontation that Hugo Moyano had last night with the fans, at the exit. Almost copied from other fateful days, in which Avellaneda’s team did not find their way and left points along the way.
At one point, the president of the institution, who was accompanied by Héctor “Yoyo” Maldonado (general secretary of the club), was confronted with several Red fans. “And what the f… do you want me to do?! The with… of your mother!”, he insulted, looking defiantly at a fan who was yelling at him and claiming him behind a barbed wire fence. Immediately the answer came: “And what are you doing, thief? Later, Moyano got into a car and left, but the story suggests more chapters of tension. In DT Eduardo Domínguez and his players will be the challenge of trying to reverse the panorama, although there are few elements to think that Independiente can climb close to the top four.
The climate had already turned sour as soon as the game ended, with insults aimed directly at the trucker leader. At the same time, incidents were recorded in the Arsenio Erico stalls, with fans taking fist blows.
It is not the first time that Moyano has braided with the fans of Independiente. After a game with Arsenal, in February 2020, he complained saying: “There are four geese.” And he assured not to get in trouble for the criticism: “I was in prison three times in the Dictatorship, I don’t shrink with anything.”

On December 5, 2021, following drawing 1-1 with San Lorenzo, the leader Yoyo Maldonado attacked an Independiente member in the playón, when he asked for clean elections in the club:
And following the recent fall in the classic with Racing (2-1), on Saturday, March 19, the leader made gestures to the fans from the box.
Currently, Independiente appears just in the middle of the Zone 2 table: it is seventh among 14 teams, with two wins, seven draws and two losses, with 13 units. Taking into account that Boca -the fourth- has 17 units with one game less, the King of Cups will have to make every effort to dream of higher goals. On the next date, next Saturday, they will face Rosario Central as a visitor.
