Partido de fútbol / Soccer game

On Wednesday, Victor and I went to a soccer game. El Club Universitario de Deportes (LA U) played Sao Paolo, Brazil.
It was awesome:











Interesting Highlights:

-Before the game started, young men were throwing plastic bags into the audience. They were filled with little square yellow-pages cut outs that would be used as confetti later
-The stadium did not have a working clock and the whole place was rather decrepit, but the mood was rich and inviting!
-When people were standing up too long in the bleachers, angry shouts would come from behind "Sientense!" (sit down) and if action wasn't taken promptly enough, offending standers would get hit in the back of the head with a ball of tightly crumbled confetti paper.
-The final score was 0:0, leaving behind a despondent crowd. The game started with a lot of energy and just wore out towards the end.
