Police withheld guarantees after buses of barrabravas swelled crowds beyond the 150-per-side cap agreed for Gutiérrez Sport Club.

Overview

  • The Independiente RivadaviaGodoy Cruz Torneo Clausura final was called off for the second straight weekend, this time at Gutiérrez Sport Club, after pregame tensions outside the venue.
  • Organizers had capped attendance at 150 pre-registered supporters per team, but several buses of organized fans arrived and authorities refused to proceed under those conditions.
  • The Government of Mendoza said it is analyzing intervention of the Liga Mendocina through the Dirección de Personas Jurídicas, citing a questioned assembly, missing 2024 financial statements, suspected administrative fraud and allegedly falsified certificates.
  • Women’s football coordinator Giuliana Díaz accused league leadership of mismanagement, said the league lacks funds for proper security, and argued players have been left as hostages of poor decisions.
  • League president Omar Sperdutti blamed the presence of barras for breaching the agreement, backed the suspension, and suggested a replay behind closed doors as players from both clubs staged a joint on-field protest.
