Ball stopped,
Guido Carrillo
looks for the delivery in the Sarmiento area and
Javier Toledo
goes down to defend.
Barely 22 minutes into the game at the UNO stadium and the Estudiantes striker loses at least two teeth after his rival hits him with her elbow in the mouth.
His teeth fly and look sharp on the official broadcast.
Tremendous.
With his left arm high, Toledo jumped to anticipate Carrillo's header attempt and hit him square in the face.
In the descent -and in the slow motion of the repetition- you can see how while the striker 'Pincha' covers his mouth with his hands, at least two teeth fly that ends up on the grass.
Bloodied, Carrillo managed to take the dental pieces from the ground, while Sarmiento's doctors treated Toledo, who was complaining of pain in his elbow.
The striker had to be treated twice due to the amount of blood that flowed from his mouth.
He was able to continue playing and completed the first half
.
Despite the eloquence of the evidence, the referee Andrés Merlos did not whistle a penalty, nor did the VAR ask him to review the play,
Cheek bleeds: he lost at least one tooth after an elbow.
