A worrying thing happened in the match between River Plate and Temperley




In the final stretch of the first half of the match between River Plate and Temperley, for the Copa Argentina, a fan fell from the stand where the Temperley fans were. The accident occurred on Tuesday evening (21st) at the Malvinas Argentinas stadium, in Mendoza.

The victim of the accident was near the ditch that separates the stands from the pitch and fell from a height of three metres. For now it is not known what the reason for the fall would have been. The fact is that, quickly, the removal procedures were started to take the victim to a hospital in the city.

A medical bulletin providing further details on the clinical conditions of the fan who fell from the stands has not been released. However, according to the local broadcaster TyC Sports, After considerable bleeding and loss of consciousness upon transport, he improved further in the ambulance. To the point, in fact, that he arrived at the hospital already awake and aware of what had happened.

Elimination (again) on penalties

On a sporting level, it was a dream evening for the club that plays in the second division of Argentine football. Even in the context in which, in the 6th minute of the second half, Esequiel Barco scored the first goal of the match for the Riveristas. With a free kick, the number 21 hits with absolute precision, without any possibility of defense for goalkeeper Juan Francisco Rago. However, in extra time, at 47, Temperley forced the penalty shootout in style. After a throw-in, the ball fell to Fernando Martínez who, with a beautiful volley, equalized everything.

Ironically, on the score line, Rago saved Barco’s shot, who, in regulation time, hit the corner with a free kick. Furthermore, the Temperley archer took the penalty from Martínez Quarta, substitute, and consolidated the epic ranking of Turdera’s representation.

This was the third penalty under manager Martín Demichelis in charge of River Plate and, for the third time, the team did not advance. In addition to the Argentine Cup, Millonario fell in 2023 in the Libertadores (International) and in the League Cup, at Rosario Central, with the same context.
