Overview
- The Clausura final between Independiente Rivadavia and Godoy Cruz was canceled for the second straight weekend at Gutiérrez after police withheld guarantees due to large unauthorized crowds and the arrival of barras that blew past the 150-per-club limit.
- Officials and witnesses reported incidents outside the venue, police dispersal operations, and a joint on-field photo by both squads to protest being denied the chance to play.
- The Mendoza government said the corporate regulator is assessing intervention, citing a questioned leadership assembly, missing 2024 financial statements, probes into alleged diversion of funds, and suspected fake medical certificates.
- Minister Natalio Mema alleged tolerance of barra interference and said authorities believe the mobilization aimed to sabotage the match, while the Security Ministry faulted the league’s organization rather than the policing plan.
- League president Omar Sperdutti said the barras ban was breached and suggested playing the final behind closed doors, as women’s football leader Giuliana Díaz decried insufficient funds for proper security and called for responsibility at the league.
