When in March 2022 we witnessed Dantesque images at the Estadio Corregidora, in which dozens of fans were bleeding and some remained unconscious inside the stadium after being beaten, allegedly by supporters of the home team (I write allegedly because these types of people cannot be called fans), it seemed that now the matter would be dealt with and that it would be at least three years before we would see similar images.
It's January 2024, the Clausura Mexican Soccer Tournament has just begun. It is the first game in which your team, Rayados de Monterrey, has to play away.
A group of friends and family decide to make the trip to Torreón to enjoy the match, most of them are aware that this city is one of the places where being a fan of a team from Monterrey is synonymous with suffering, at times, verbal aggression from some pseudo local fans.
