The return of the Argentine football club Tigre to Uruguay following their participation in the Copa Sudamericana was marred by an armed incident involving the club’s transport. Following the match in Montevideo, Tigre’s bus was targeted by an attack, resulting in injuries to a club member. Initial reports suggested multiple casualties, but subsequent statements from the club and argentine media confirmed that only one individual sustained injuries.
The 57-year-old man was taken to the Cerro Hospital in Montevideo for treatment. Medical personnel assessed the situation, confirming that the injury resulted from a shot that passed through the man’s arm. Authorities later clarified that, while the incident was serious, the injuries were not deemed life-threatening.
The confrontation occurred after Tigre played in the first quarter of the sixteenth round of the Copa Sudamericana, where they were defeated by Nacional with a score of 3-0. The incident on the coach’s bus added a layer of concern following the sporting result. The club and its representatives have since focused on the recovery of the injured player while managing the professional fallout from the tournament.
The details surrounding the attack remain under investigation by local authorities.
