Hugo Ibarra confirmed a fight between Darío Benedetto and Carlos Zambrano, who came out in the second half with a blow to the cheekbone

The soccer apathy that Boca showed, deepened by the superiority shown by Racing in the gamecaused that at the end of the first half, the players gathered in the center of the field with sad faces. The 0 to 0 was pious for those led by Hugo Ibarra. At that moment, the one who raised his voice was Dario Benedetto, who seemed to utter complaints to his companions. However, nothing drew too much attention and the xeneize squad headed towards the changing rooms.

What happened from there is a mystery. When the team returned to the field of play, CArlos Zambrano appeared with a swollen left cheekbone and several marks on his face. What is striking is that when the first half ended, his face did not show any kind of wound or mark. He hadn’t taken a hit for the first forty-five minutes. Did something happen between the end of the initial chapter and the start of the addon?

Crossing between Benedetto and Zambrano

Versions began to circulate. From television they warned of a possible fight between the Peruvian defender and Benedetto on the way to the dressing rooms. Others said that even security personnel had to intervene, in addition to the companions, to separate them.

The one who confirmed everything was Hugo Ibarra, the visible face of the technical trinomial that leads to Boca. Although he minimized what happened.

Before the journalistic consultation, the Formosan shared: “I know there was an argument at halftime and nothing else. I’m going to find out what happened. I have no idea why it was.”

Then, he minimized everything: “There were always discussions on campus. It’s part of football. To improve there have to be discussions.”

In the first minutes of this Monday, Zambrano posted a curious tweet on his account. “Complicated match but ‘The Delivery’ of the group is not negotiable”, highlighted the Peruvian. Could it have been a shot by elevation to Pipa? Everything will continue when both face each other again at the team’s next training session.
