A strong confrontation between players, relatives, and directors of Puerto Nuevo after a training session on the previous Thursday has sparked controversy in the club. According to Revista Ascenso, the incident was related to a problem of apuestas (bets), and someone even ran to another person with a screwdriver, determined to stab them. Olé has obtained a video of the incident, which shows a trifulca (scuffle) between a player and an individual in civilian clothes, while others try to separate them.
The club Puerto Nuevo had to rent their cancha (pitch) to Muñiz to cover personal expenses for the players, and a vandalism and robbery incident occurred on a Tuesday morning. The club's official statement denies any involvement in violence and apuestas deportivas (sports betting), and rejects any information that links the institution to such situations.
Revista Ascenso has responded to the club's statement, claiming that they do not lie and that they have the videos of the incidents. The motive of the fight is still unclear, and the situation continues to leave many questions unanswered.
