Brazilian Tiago Nunes had a separate duel with the players and followed it in conference. The Copa Libertadores match between River and Sporting Cristal was experienced as a final, with gritted teeth on and off the field.

Some Millonario players went looking for Nunes, the coach of the Peruvians, whom they pointed out for "making gestures" and provoking the incidents of the end, which resulted in the expulsion of Salomón Rondón. Later, at a press conference, the Brazilian coach doubled the bet and fired with heavy ammunition against Núñez's team.
