Nogometaši Gimnasije y Esgrima La Plate je svom treneru Diegu Armandu Maradoni za 60. rođendan poklonila pobjedu nad Patronatom (3-0), a Maradona je, iako u izolaciji, uživo gledao prve minute dvoboja.
Maradona je završio u samoizolaciji zbog kontakta s zaraženom osobom, ali nije poslušao liječnike i došao je na stadion. Negdašnja zvijezda je hodala uz pomoć dvojice tjelohranitelja i djelovao je dosta iscrpljeno, navode argentinski mediji, a odgledao je nekoliko minuta dvoboja i otišao.
