Argentina fans mistakenly threw stones at their team bus, the Tiger Athletic Clubwhen they go São Paulo in a match in the group stage of South American Cup that the Brazilians won. With a history of bad blood between the two teams after the controversial 2012 tournament final, there was a heavy police presence for the matchup, which Sao Paulo won 2-0.
Tigres midfielder Agustín Cardozo pointed to the incident on Instagram, uploading a photo of a rock in his hands with a broken window in the background and the caption “we’re on.” Although he later deleted the post, Argentine outlet TyC captured video footage of the damage to the vehicle.
In the 2012 final, Sao Paulo led 2-0 and claimed victory after the match was suspended by the referee in the second half due to Tigre’s players refusing to take the field. Former coach Néstor Gorosito is among those who said the Argentine team decided not to play in the second half because during halftime, the security of the Morumbi stadium in Brazil attacked them with punches, sticks and even threatened them with weapons. No investigation or suspension occurred after the game.
