The Gigante de Arroyito stadium received very special items this Sunday evening for the match between Rosario Central and Newell's Old Boys, the former club of Lionel Messi and Marcelo Bielsa.
This very heated derby, which ended with a 1-0 victory for Newell's, was delayed by several tens of minutes due to grenades thrown on the lawn by supporters.
These having exploded on the ground, they made a few holes on the green rectangle in addition to the release of smoke, preventing the match from starting on time.

The very impressive video was shared by Newell's "Rojinegros" (Reds and Blacks).
Fortunately, the incidents did not cause any injuries.
The match was then able to resume without problems, even when the goal was scored by the visitors.
This one was registered by Juanchon Garcia, then resulting in huge scenes of jubilation on the part of the supporters of the former club of Messi.
In addition, Argentine football was also marked by a few other projectiles on Sunday evening, during the "Superclasico" won by Boca Juniors on the lawn of River Plate.
The Boca Juniors team having received various plastic bottles, fortunately repelled by the shields of the police present.
These incidents demonstrate the excessive and sometimes dangerous passion of Latin supporters, like the fights in Mexico which resulted in deaths a fortnight ago.
