Overview

• At the final whistle in Mendoza, a group of home supporters breached a fence and entered the pitch to confront Deportivo Maipú players.
• Verbal disputes escalated into pushes and punches before private security moved in to separate the groups.
• Only two police officers entered the field during the disturbance, a detail that fueled criticism of the matchday operation.
• Goalkeeper Ignacio Pietrobono was shielded by private security, and club president Hernán Sperdutti stepped onto the field to calm tensions.
• Following several minutes of chaos, fans returned to the stands, and the 2-1 defeat to Colegiales left Maipú's Reducido qualification to be decided away at Atlanta.
