Argentine Juniors drew 1-1 with Fluminense from Brazil, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. But the meeting had a sad image. The injury to Luciano Sánchez, in a play which led to the expulsion of Marcelo.
In the match played at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in La Paternal, Gabriel Ávalos scored the first goal for the “Bicho” 13 minutes into the first half. At 43 in the second stage, defender Samuel Xavier made it 1-1 for “Flu”.
After the match, the Brazilian defender left a message for Sánchez. «I have inadvertently injured a colleague by profession. I want to wish you the best possible recovery, Luciano“Marcelo wrote.
Messages of support for Sánchez multiplied on networks. It was learned that the player had a complete dislocation of his left knee.
Soccer is bigger. Strength, Sanchez!

A lot of strength to Luciano Sánchez who suffered a horrifying injury and will be off the pitch for at least a year. Hopefully I can go back to a normal life at least. Good for Marcelo in his message of solidarity. https://t.co/TAn7RrySJo

Two expulsions, one of Marcelo after the entrance to Sánchez
In the second half, the Rio de Janeiro team went for the tie and had clear chances to equalize the score at La Paternal but, after 13 minutes, “Flu” received another blow: he was left with ten due to the expulsion of Marcelo after the hard tackle on Luciano Sánchez.
In a game that “Bicho” began to manage after Marcelo’s red card, Gabriel Milito’s men received a blow at 30 minutes when their goalkeeper, Alexis Martín Arias, was expelled when colliding with Diogo Barbosa on the edge of the area. Argentinos had already made the five corresponding changes and the coach had to send midfielder Leonardo Heredia to the goal, who defended the fence, which faces Juan Agustín García street, during the last quarter.
