The referee Nazareno Arasa decided to suspend the match 7 minutes into the second half, considering that there were not enough guarantees to ensure the safety of the footballers.

“Is suspended. The guarantees were not given. We exhaust all possible instances that there may be. It is about taking care of the physical integrity of everyone, of the players, of us, of what the show is. We started to hear the gunshots, the head of the operation came and did not give me the guarantees. I think the best and healthiest thing is to have suspended it and then decide when the remaining time will be played,” said Arasa once he made the decision.

For his part, Godoy Cruz’s goalkeeper, Franco Petroli, gave his point of view and regretted what happened: “It’s a shame not to be able to play, not to be able to do what we want so much. The truth is that this doesn’t add up to anything. This is a spectacle, we all come to give each other so that it goes well, so that it turns out to be a nice game, for the people who also come to support and accompany this team. That it ends like this makes it a little sad.”

The player Nahuel Ulariaga, scorer of Godoy Cruz’s goal, also spoke. “I’m very sad. We prepare for the game all week, we make a huge effort and for these things to happen it hurts a lot. There were three stops, we got cold, we felt the cold. We are very hurt, it is a shame that these things happen. “I don’t know why these things happen, but it has to be solved outside the field, not here where they harm us,” said the forward.
