Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata striker Matías Abaldo was sent off. Abaldo kicked Damián Puebla from behind in the first half of the match.

Referee Nicolás Lamolina initially cautioned the Uruguayan. After a VAR review, Lamolina changed the warning to expulsion. But Abaldo upped the ante with a defiant gesture and it could cost him too dearly. The striker made 'robbery' gestures, with both hands and in front of the cameras.
