Marcelo Gallardo grabbed his head. The technical director of River could not believe it. The referee Nestor Pitana did not hesitate and took the red card from his pocket to show it to a millionaire player in the Monumental in 14 minutes of the first half.
It was Paulo Díaz, who was dumbly expelled before Central Córdoba. A bad reaction cost the defender too expensive. An impulse played tricks on him. And he left those of Nunez with one less with a time and a half to play.
Gervasio Núñez went to mark Diaz, who was carrying the ball in the middle of the court. The visitor's footballer committed an infraction from behind, but with his left arm he pushed the Chilean, who did not hold on and automatically kicked him from behind.
All in the eyes of the judge, who acted correctly beyond the protest of the entire team of the red band. In fact, Franco Armani, captain, ran to the central circle to claim the sanction and that is why he earned a warning.
In this way, River was complicated by the match against Santiago in his own stadium.
