Defensa y Justicia's penalty against Boca was later annulled by the VAR. Referee Jorge Baliño said that the sanction had been changed due to a gesture (wink of the eye) that the defender made to Nicolás Fernández.
"It was a clear penalty. They had confirmed it," Alexis Soto told journalists in the locker room area. "On the court it seemed to me that Blondel was reckless on Soto's foot,” Baliña explained.
