The dramatic story of a young man who saw the fan fall on the River field

June 03, 2023, 7:25 p.m.

Federico, a spectator who witnessed the dramatic moment, told TN: “I was in Sívori Baja and an explosion was heard, as if a firecracker had been thrown.”

“I was 20 or 30 meters away, the capacity was full. What I saw is that they were asking for an ambulance and that the game be suspended because it was serious,” said the young man, who was one of the 83,000 spectators who were present this Saturday afternoon.

In this sense, he added: “When I saw this, it shocked me. I was watching the game and I heard a ‘boom’. Everyone began to ask that the game be suspended because a person had fallen.

Federico, who usually goes to the “Monumental” often, pointed out that he did not see if it was a man or a woman. However, they told him that he would apparently be a man.

“I have no information on whether he jumped or fell. At other times it happened that there were people who wanted to go from the Sívori Alta or from the Sívori Media to the Sívori Low and they have fallen and hurt themselves ugly ”, he added. He also commented that the emergency personnel took about five minutes to get to the place where the victim was.
