Marcelo, dismayed, sends a painful message after injuring Luciano Sánchez

Argentinos Juniors and the Brazilian Fluminense tied 1-1 in a match marked by a large number of fouls and by the brutal injury that Marcelo inflicted on
Luciano Sanchez.

The game came to a standstill when the left side of the tricolor, Marcelo Vieria tries to escape the defense, but ends up stepping on the leg of the Argentine defender, Luciano Sánchez, who had to leave on a stretcher.

Despite the fact that the video assistant referee’s review showed that there was no intention to hurt on the part of the Flu player, the judge understood that he had to expel him to try to control the match. Vieria -former player of Spanish Real Madrid- did not dispute the decision and accepted the red card, appearing heartbroken and remorseful, although the damage had already been done.
