A tragedy. This Sunday, a terrible incident occurred in Peru, while two teams were playing a football match on the pitch of the Coto Coto stadium in Huancayo. A meeting which counted for an amateur level, according to information from the media Meteored.com.ar and which took an unexpected turn.

Hit hard

In fact, around 4 p.m., the weather conditions began to deteriorate. So much so that the protagonists decided to end the game prematurely and by mutual agreement.
