Sporty crystal draw 1:1 with Riverbed at the Estadio Nacional for Group D of the 2023 Copa Libertadores. In a hard-fought game, the light blue team managed to come out on top, but in the end the millionaires managed to level the game and both teams took 4 points. At the end of the engagement, a violent brawl broke out between the players and part of the River Plate team and the sky blue team coach Tiago Nunes.
The fight arose because the Brazilian strategist made provocative gestures during the game. During part of the game, Nunes crossed the technical area and made a gesture with his hands to indicate that the players led by Martín Demichelis were talking a lot. This caused players to get upset and reprimand him at the end of the game.
