played tricks on poor Llinás, who left the field with a scarf on his head towards the visiting locker room, to check and treat his wound.
Argentine football in its purest form, the one that plays 11 against 11 but that each and every one of those who are part of each match lives to the limit.
Even the goalkeeper coach.
