Overview

  • Argentina’s flag carrier condemned videos showing Peñarol players chanting, standing and striking seats during a commercial flight, calling the conduct incompatible with passenger safety.
  • Journalist Pablo Carrozza published the exact Hudson hotel location of the Uruguayan squad, a move denounced by Uruguayan media as irresponsible.
  • Racing supporters later set off fireworks near that hotel in the early hours, with reports describing two bursts including one around 3 a.m.
  • APreViDe adjusted procedures for the rematch, saying visiting fans will not be required to enter the Cilindro at 17:00 as occurred with away supporters in the first leg.
  • Peñarol travels to Avellaneda with a 1–0 lead from Montevideo for the second leg scheduled tonight.
