Aldair Rodríguez also lamented the injury and approached the River Plate concentration hotel. Before ESPN cameras, the striker was repentant: “Very sad about the situation of my professional colleague. It was a fortuitous play I had no bad intention of going ”.

“It was a dispute between the two of them. Unfortunately I think his foot gets caught and breaks. That’s why I’ve come to apologize to you personally. I am very sorry”.
