According to the reports on various channels that were on the scene of the events, there were around 500 fans outside the Hilton Garden Inn hotel constantly encouraging and giving all their support to the players and the technical command of the ‘bicolor’ on the verge of playing a momentous match against ‘La Celeste’ in the same mythical Montevideo Centenary.
As soon as the songs and sounds of the instruments that the fans brought to this public space began, the national players began to leave little by little to record what happened and engage in that human warmth that only the fans can give at such a decisive moment in the qualifying process.
