Fan hits football player in the face with a fish.
An unusual incident was seen in the famous Avellaneda derby between hated Argentine rivals Independiente and Racing.
With the Boca Juniors and River Palates derby, the Avellaneda derby is often overshadowed, but the rivalry between these two clubs goes beyond all possible limits and from match to match we have incidents as rarely as anywhere else. The last derby will be remembered for one.
A shocking incident occurred at the start of the second half when Racing fans, or rather one of them, hit Independiente player Leandro Fernandez, who came on in the first half, with a fish in the face.
Rodriguez was running close to the Racing fans and then the exact fan hit him in the head with a fish and caused a stoppage of play.
The experienced footballer was taken off the field and given help for a long time, therefore the match was stopped.
However, the 31-year-old returned to the game after receiving help, but his side were beaten 1-0 by Racing.
By the way, the Avellaneda derby is more than 100 years old.
The hated clubs are only a few meters away, as the stadiums are next to each other.
In the selection of many of the most important world media, it is among the 15 biggest world derbies, and in some elections even in the Top 10.
