The 3-0 victory of Tigre over Nacional de Uruguay, which allowed them to take an important first step towards qualifying for the round of 16 of the South American Cup, was completely overshadowed by a serious episode of violence. One of the buses transporting Argentine fans was shot at while leaving Montevideo and, as a result, at least one person was injured.
The incident occurred on Tuesday night, when a caravan of 15 buses was making its way to Colonia via route 1. Near Cibils Avenue, the first bus was hit by a burst of gunfire that, according to Uruguayan media, was fired by Nacional supporters.
According to initial reports, the vehicle was hit by around ten bullets. One of the projectiles struck a Tigre fan in one of his arms, so he was taken to the Hospital del Cerro, where he was hospitalized out of danger. Images shared on social media also show a window shattered by a bullet and bloodstains inside the bus.
