Another episode of violence and irresponsibility in international football fields

Another episode of violence and irresponsibility in international football fields. This time it was the case of the Honduras-Mexico match, which was won by the locals with the result 2-0, but which had a very ugly epilogue immediately after the 90th minute. The coach of Mexico, Javier Aguirre, was hit by a bottle when he was going to greet the staff of the Honduran bench: wounded in the head, he did not stop his gesture of fair play, leaving the field covered in blood.

The bottle hits him on the head: Aguirre leaves bleeding

A very ugly episode, which happened right after the last minute of the Honduras-Mexico match. The match was valid for the first stage of the quarter-finals of the Concacaf League of Nations, closed with a 2-0 victory for the locals. Mexico coach Javier Aguirre was the victim of unprovoked violence from local fans as he went to shake hands with opposing staff. The Mexico coach was hit in the head by an object thrown from the stands, an open bottle that hit him on the head as he walked normally onto the pitch. He received a deep gash that forced him to leave the field covered in blood, but that did not stop him from continuing with his beautiful gesture of fair play.

Concacaf opens an investigation into the incident

At the press conference, Aguirre himself downplayed the incident, trying to focus on the match and the reasons for Mexico's loss. "The blow to the head? I don't comment, it's football: nothing happened", were his words that tried to soften and reduce the consequences of the event. However, the incident could not go unnoticed by the football authorities and Concacaf has decided to open an official investigation into the incident.

This is the post-match announcement: "Concacaf strongly condemns the incident and the act of violence that occurred after the end of tonight's Nations League match between the representatives of Honduras and Mexico, where the coach of Mexico, Javier Aguirre, was punched from an object thrown from the stands. The safety of players and fans is a priority for Concacaf. There is no place for violence in football. This incident will now be referred to the Concacaf Disciplinary Committee for review and investigation."
