Andrés Mendoza y Yeison Esquivel palparon el temor de ser agredidos; corrieron para evitar que una piedra o una bala los alcanzara. Estos dos costarricenses que juegan en el Diriangén de Nicaragua quedaron, el sábado, atrapados en medio de un enfrentamiento entre manifestantes, grupos de choque que apoyan al gobierno y la policía del vecino país.

Nicaragua vive momentos de extrema tensión debido a que su población reclama contra la reforma del Seguro Social que impulsó el gobierno de Daniel Ortega, decisión que afecta la cotización para los jubilados.
