Huracán - Estudiantes suspendido, Clausura 2011

On 21 May 2011 two teams suffering terrible rins of form met in the 15th round of the Clausura 2011 tournament in Argentina. The hosts Huracán had slipped into the automatic relegation places after a run of five consecutive defeats and the visitors, defending champions Estudiantes had gone 12 games without a victory. After a dreadful goalkeeping error from Pedro Monzón and a free header from hernán Rodrigo López had gifted Estudiantes a 0-2 lead within half an hour the Huracán fans started a riot and succeeded in getting the game abandoned.

Most Argentine commentators seem to agree that Huracán should be severely punished in order to demonstrate that violence will not be tolerated.

Cosas locas: Flamengo pitch invader

10 October 2010: Brazilian sides Avai and Flamengo were in the last minute of a game with the score tied at 2-2, when a Flamengo fan ran onto the field to remonstrate with the referee, however he was soon decked by a combination of his own team's players and the linesman.

Crazy Blooming fan

11 August 2009: Club Blooming of Bolivia were hosting Uruguayan side River Plate de Montevideo in the first round of Copa Sudamericana 2009. In the 66th minute with Blooming losing 0-1 a fan rushed onto the pitch and attacked River Plate's Henry Giménez.

The referee suspended the game and CONMEBOL decided to punish Blooming by awarding the game to River Plate 3-0.

Chacarita vs Estudiantes Clausura 2010

On 2 May 2010 Chacarita Juniors faced Estudiantes de La Plata in the 17th round of the Clausura 2010 championship. Both teams needed the win, Chacarita would be as good as relegated without the 3 points and Estudiantes needed the points to stay at the top of the table ahead of Argentinos Juniors and Independiente.

Chacarita took an early lead with a cracking strike from Omar Zarif, but it seemed that the referee was favouring Estudiantes who had already benefited from other dodgy refereeing decisions that season, without which they wouldn't have even been at the top of the table.

When the referee awarded a penalty and sent off Chacarita defender Lisandro López (no not that one) for a blatantly unintentional handball on a shot that was going well wide anyway the Chacarita fans began to riot.

Estudiantes scored the penalty and then made it 2-1 against the 10 men, meanwhile the police had instructed the fire service to hose down the Chacarita fans to cool their tempers. At some point one of the Chacarita fans managed to grab the hose which was quickly hauled into the stand by the fans and turned on the police and firemen to give them a taste of their own medicine.

Estudiantes held on to win the game 2-1 but lost the championship race to Argentinos Juniors, Chacarita Juniors were relegated at the end of the season at the bottom of the relegation table after only accumulating 0.842 points per game.
