One of the most famous fútbol clubs in Buenos Aires, River Plate, was just relegated to Round B after a match with Belgrano Cordoba.
"River Plate, the record 33 times Argentine league champions, suffered their biggest humiliation ever with relegation to the second division for the first time.
River drew 1-1 with Belgrano of the Nacional B division in the second leg of a relegation-promotion playoff at the Monumental after a 2-0 defeat in the first leg in Cordoba on Wednesday.
Fans in the 60,000 plus crowd at the Monumental went wild with rage, throwing objects on to the pitch and some tried to climb over perimeter fencing to storm on to the field.
Players of both sides had to leave the pitch under protection of stewards while police used high power hoses to try to the rioting fans."
Fans were crying at the "end" of the game, a game that was stopped before the official ending thanks to the angry and upset fans. This is especially humiliating since Belgrano is a relatively unknown team in comparison to River, who is known as Los Millonarios, in reference to the expensive transfer of players from other clubs.
So what does this mean?
Violence, mass mayhem, destruction, fires, you name it. The River fans are very upset and things are suppose to get worse as the night goes on.
