Agustín Rossi, current Flamengo goalkeeper and former Boca, was a victim of an insecurity incident in Brazil. His car was shot at in Rio de Janeiro during an attempted robbery, after returning to the country following the 1-1 draw against Central Córdoba in Santiago del Estero for the Copa Libertadores.
The incident occurred around 5:30 in the morning, when the Mengao players were leaving the airport and driving along the Linha Amarela, near Bonsucesso, in the north of Rio de Janeiro. On that route, they were intercepted by armed criminals who attempted to rob them.
One of the most affected was the Argentine goalkeeper who, while driving, received four bullet impacts on his vehicle. However, thanks to the car being armored, Rossi was not injured and was able to arrive home safely, although with the emotional impact of the experience.
