Argentina’s 1-0 victory over Chile in the America Cup, It left spirits heated on the side of the team led by Ricardo Gareca. After the defeat by a goal on the hour mark from Lautaro Martínez, A video of a fan who broke out in anger and could not control his anger went viral on social networks.
The video, shared on TikTok, shows a fan angry after Lautaro Martínez’s goal 43 minutes into the second half. In football terms, his anger was justified: with that result, La Roja is currently out of qualifying for the quarterfinals, although nothing is defined yet. There is still the last date of the group stage and if Chile beats Canada, they will advance to the final stage.
However, none of these reasons were an incentive for the Chilean fan, who had painted his face with the colors of his flag and could not contain his reaction after his team’s defeat. The thing is that the goal by the former Racing Club that gave Argentina a pass to the next round occurred at Chile’s best moment in the match, and in one of the last plays.
The surprise of the defeat so close to the final whistle was one of the factors that triggered his anger: “Not at the last minute, conchetumadre!”, is the first fragment that is observed of his anger, while other Chilean fans who were watching the game with him looked at the screen with desolation, and Some even tried to appease him, in vain..
“No, no, no, we were playing really well now, culiao“He continued, with the brightness of the TV reflected in his glasses, while he punched the air and kicked the ground. “Ah, Argentines culiaos“They took away the penalty from us in the first half!” he complained, in reference to a play that occurred five minutes into the match, where striker Cristian Dávila asked for the maximum penalty for an alleged elbow from Romero when clearing a cross. something that Uruguayan judge Andrés Matonte did not interpret as a fault.
The Chilean fan’s fury continued to rage, until he finally capped them with a high-pitched scream as he grabbed his head. Perhaps for his own health, he retired promising: “I don’t see any more, I don’t see a wow more.” However, his curses and insults continued to be heard in the background, while the camera focused on his teammates, who looked at the screen in silence, as if waiting for another result that would bring Chile closer to qualification, something that did not happen in the final minutes.
As mentioned, Chile was left with one point so far in the tournament and even, even in goal difference, with Peru at the bottom of the Group A, which includes Argentina and Canada. To qualify for the quarterfinals, they need to reach second place, a place currently occupied by the Canadian team with three points. But the last date gives him hope, since Canada will be his rival. To defeat them, as long as there is no eventual heavy defeat for Argentina against Peru on Saturday from 9 p.m., the team led by the Argentine Ricardo Gareca will move on to the next round. A small consolation for the angry man. Chilean fan, who went viral after his team’s agonizing defeatin a match from which I expected a different result.
