The passion for a football club can lead a fan to the extreme of assaulting or swearing to death to someone. In this case a group of fans threatened the Sportivo Luqueño players ahead of Saturday’s crucial game against Sport Ameliano and that defines whether they continue in the Paraguayan first division.

The Paraguayan police announced an operation to protect the lives of the players not only from Luqueño but also from Ameliano.
