Pic Special: The Enganche travels with fans to Rosario

Ever wondered what was like to be an away fan in Argentina? The Enganche made the +300-km trip from Avellaneda to Rosario with the traveling Racing Club fans on Saturday. 

Sebastián García got on board on one of the buses that departed from Racing Club stadium and here are some of his pictures and stories from this unique experience that showed the best and the worst things football has to offer in Argentina. 

Join us in this fantastic journey! 


Early morning: Racing fans gather at their stadium. Six buses are offered by the Departamento del Hincha (Supporters Department). Roughly 360 people make the trip with them and several 'unofficial' buses join them on the road.

Lip-stick check?: Police ask fans to get off the buses for a routine control. They look for guns, drugs or alcohol. Of course fans know better! All the booze was discarded at a previous stop and what's inside, the police can't take away.

Kick-off in Rosario: Unfortunately, pictures from the police abuse Racing fans suffered upon arrival in Rosario are not available. The Enganche had to put the camera away during that moment, but fans were punched by police, even when they were doing nothing wrong. 

The Gigante terraces: Racing fans endured defeat on top of the 600 km round trip. The lower tier of one of the Gigante de Arroyito's end was dressed in white and blue.

The Warriors: Rosario Central scores and the place goes mental. Soon after, their barrabrava, Los Guerreros (The Warriors) show their colours and give us a rather nice picture from behind the fence where we were watching. 

'Don't miss the goal': Sebastián García, The Enganche correspondent, takes a moment to capture an image from his trip to Rosario.
