Club's vice-president chains himself to door in AFA protest

The vice president of Sarmiento de Chaco chained himself to the door of the Argentina Football Association's (AFA) offices in protest following a key defeat for his team.

Bidding to be promoted to the second tier of Argentina's league structure, Sarmiento de Chaco slipped to a 3-0 loss away to Deportivo Madryn in the first leg of their play-off clash.
