The incredible cross between Marcos Rojos and the Independiente workers who came in to dry the water | VIDEO

The deluge interrupted the great game between Boca Juniors and Independiente. Shortly after the end, the rain flooded the field of the Libertadores de América – Ricardo Bochini stadium and the referee Facundo Tello ordered the actions to stop in order to find a solution so that the commitment of the Professional League Cup ends.

While the players, the technical commands and the fans navigated in uncertainty, there was a first movement to resume the game. That was how the workers of the ‘King of Cups’ jumped onto the ground with instruments in their hands. The idea, somewhat improvised and emergency, was to dry the ‘green’ to continue.

So, the employees of Independiente began with the work, but there was an unusual event between Marcos Rojo and the workers. The defender of Boca charged against the men in charge of removing the water, since he argued that they gave preference to the sector that corresponded to the locals.

The images of the official broadcast showed the former Manchester United pushing one of the men towards the ‘Xeneizes’ area. Immediately afterwards, the central appeared giving instructions: “Dry me there”, he pointed. Not only that, the World Cup player with the national team stood at attention to supervise the work.

Red’s attitude, as is evident, generated a small brawl between all the protagonists. The members of Independiente went against the defender for the way he treated the worker. However, the matter did not go beyond shoving and a spicy exchange of words.

Overcoming that impasse, Tello saw that the game could continue and it was six more minutes until the final whistle. The score did not move more: 2-2. A double by Darío Benedetto for the ‘blue and gold’; On the side of the ‘Red Devils’, Gastón Togni and Alan Sonoro were the authors of the conquests in Avellaneda.

Precisely, ‘Pipa’ Benedetto spoke after the game and was not happy with the point: “We should have gone looking for the third goal because we knew that Independiente was going to come looking for the tie, they found the goal and then it was difficult for both teams to play on a playing field that way”expressed on TNT Sports.
