Firefighters got to work, fixing cables and contacts, with the expectation that the match would start at 8:00 p.m. Finally, at 8:12 p.m., referee Andrés Gariano ordered the start of the match, with the court well lit.
Gustavo Bilardo, head of Arsenal Security, stated: “We had the mishap of a short in a transfer of one of the lamps, due to the rain. It caught fire, three cables were burned and we have to make the splice so that they do not touch the metal and don’t make the thermal jump. That’s why the firefighters and the maintenance chief came up. We thank Gimnasia for agreeing to postpone the game.”
