THE TORNEOS DE Verano are a pre-season tournament in Argentina, originally designed to be a sort of happy medium between something like the Emirates Cup and the Community Shield.
Relatively competitive, worth watching, but only a prelude to the important matches in the season ahead.
Somewhere along the way, it got a little out of hand and last night all hell broke loose when Estudiantes were on the verge of a 1 – 0 win over Gimnasia.
Both teams hail from La Plata, so this is a hotly-contested derby / Clasico at the best of times, but isn’t competitiveness, it’s out and out violence.
