Battle royale at Dock Sud vs. Sacachispas: Mauro Schönfeld scored a goal without a goalkeeper, "showing off" and the match ended in a fistfight.

The scene looks like something out of a local soccer match, but it happened in Argentina 's third division: Dock Sud striker Mauro Schönfeld backheeled the ball into an empty net, sparking a scandal. It was the 2-0 win against Sacachispas in a heated match on Matchday 19 of the Primera B , where Docke is fighting at the top and Soldati's team is struggling at the bottom. The play, far from going unnoticed, inflamed the visiting team, who took it as a provocation. And after the referee's whistle, the worst came.

It could be said that Schönfeld's goal was exquisitely finished, although imprudent given the context of what was at stake. The match, played at the Estadio De los Inmigrantes in the southern Buenos Aires metropolitan area, was already 1-0 thanks to Mauro Molina 's goal in the 31st minute of the first half. But in the 94th minute, with Sacachispas playing on the attack, goalkeeper Facundo Troncoso went in search of a heroic equalizer, and what happens almost always happened: the ball ended up going into his own net, unguarded.

In this case, what Schönfeld did broke all the codes : he received the ball, ran towards the goal and at the last moment decided to push the ball by throwing a heel, a gesture that was not taken favorably by the players of the purple team, who complained about the "cool" touch of the 22-year-old forward.

"A little bit of luxury, the goalkeeper didn't like it," warned the local club's partisan commentator, who hosted the Tercer Tiempo streaming broadcast, Dock Sud, a sentiment , who later made it clear that he didn't like the way Schönfeld finished off the match. The media outlet captured the moving and embarrassing images on YouTube.

Schönfeld opted for the swear word over simplicity. The line between daring and mockery became blurred, and the reaction was quick to follow. Once the match was over, with the blood still boiling, the Sacachispas players and their substitutes went on a rampage toward the man who made the controversial snooker.

The fight began with shoving, kicking, a few punches, and a brawl that briefly subsided when the Dock Sud forward ran for cover in his locker room to avoid the beating. However, the war on Schönfeld quickly escalated into a pitched battle where everyone began to give and take, those seeking to attack the striker and those trying to defend him.

In that gruesome setting, as punches flew, the stadium's voices called for calm over the loudspeakers . In the middle of the match, a Dock Sud player was left lying on the ground and an ambulance was brought in to treat him: his face was covered in blood, and he had to be taken to a hospital for treatment.

As if nothing else were needed, the Dock Sud fans ran out of the stands and tried to approach the epicenter of the conflict from the stands, seeking justice for their players. As a result, the police who were supposed to separate the players had to retreat to stop the hooligans: rubber bullets were heard, and stones were being thrown from the other side.

"What Schönfeld did seemed like nonsense to me. You don't do that. I'm a Dock Sud fan, but the goalkeeper got really upset. You don't do that," insisted the Tercer Tiempo team's commentator, dismayed by what was happening. And all because of a swear word .

Another postcard of the Argentine rise, where passion sometimes surpasses all limits and offers moments that seem straight out of a movie, in this case a horror movie.
