The Blooming is suing Daniel Rojas after the events that occurred last Sunday in the superclassic of Santa Cruz, which finished 1-1. At the end of the game, some players from Oriente Petrolero and their rivals came to blows, sparking a brawl.
The Clasico Cruceño is the derby between Oriente Petrolero and Blooming, both from the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Today it is one of the most closely contested classics in Bolivian football, with the derby attracting some of the biggest attendances in Bolivian football. It has a history of violence between the ultras of the two teams, but also between individual fans of the two teams.
Oriente Petrolero and Blooming drew their last match 1-1, which ended with a bang after the provocative gestures of a player from both teams. Video of the officers firing pepper spray to nip the altercation in the bud went viral. It all started with the provocative gestures of a player.
It was Daniel Rojas, from Oriente Petrolero, who, after being sent off at the end of the game, gestured to Blooming fans. After the end of the match, the players of the two teams met on their way to the locker room, with the climate already warmed up by the gestures that Rojas had previously made… And it is there that several players from Oriente Petrolero, far from cooling down situation, they continued to add fuel to the fire and make mocking gestures.
Fabricio Franzhek, secretary general of Blooming, assured that his club denounced Rojas for provoking the fans: “We based our complaint on three main acts. The first is when the player is sent off the bench and gestures to our fans. The second is when he repeats the same actions upon entering the locker room together with other teammates and the third is the physical assault against one of our footballers,” said Franzhek.
