The war between the bars of Deportivo Cali and Racing of Argentina is red hot, in the middle of a confrontation that has as its origin the theft of a flag.
The confrontation has been of maximum tension in the last week, due to Cali’s visit to Boca Juniors, in Buenos Aires, for the Copa Libertadores match that will be played this Thursday at the Bombonera.
On Wednesday afternoon, at the Gerli station of the Roca Train in Argentina, members of the Racing brava surprised Cali fans. After the attack, several injured fans of the Colombian team were reported.
“Six fans were treated at the station for cuts and bruises. Another two in Constitución. None of them had serious injuries,” a spokesman for the Police of the Province of Buenos Aires told Telam.

So the tension remains. This Thursday, the Cali bar gathered massively near the hotel where the Verdiblanco team is concentrated.
According to Argentine media reports, the authorities detained more than 150 fans in the Puerto Madero sector: they found knives and pocket knives. This is how the TN news channel published it.
Other media indicate that the detainees do not exceed 50, but that they still found an arsenal. “In Grierson and Avenida de los Italianos, personnel from the Criminal Conduct Division of the Sports Events Directorate of the City Police observed approximately 50 supporters of Deportivo Cali, so they proceeded to identify them and carry out a search, finding 20 knives among their belongings,” agents reported, in a report by the newspaper Olé.
The authorities are on alert for possible new crossings with Racing fans, after the latest episodes.
Supporters of the Argentine club have been retaliating after Cali fans stole a flag, unleashing a rivalry that has already left several injured.
