Tension and worry moments were experienced in amateur soccer in Argentina, where referees were assaulted by players during the final of the Regional Tournament between Villa Krause and San Martin.
Problems started before the start of the match, as it began with a 40-minute delay due to the lack of an ambulance at the 12 de Octubre Stadium, a place where 15 officials from the visiting club, San Martin, could not enter due to lack of security.
To make matters worse, firecrackers were thrown in the vicinity of the stadium prior to the match.

The match for promotion to the Federal A Tournament developed normally and ended with the local team winning 1-0, but the 3-1 disadvantage in the overall score prevented them from winning the series and chaos broke out.
While the Chacarero team celebrated their place in the next division, the local players attacked their opponents and immediately went after the referees, who received strong aggression with shoving and direct hits.
The referee's team tried to defend themselves, as one of the assistants responded to the attacks with her flag while the players crowded more and more.
Later, the police assisted the referees to protect them, even from some fans who entered the field to try to imitate the players' actions.
