Sandez, the kick that was not and the VAR controversy in San Lorenzo vs Boca: did Tello do the right thing in annulling the red?

The xeneize defender tried to hit Giay but missed the leg of the Cyclone midfielder. What does the regulation say?


The match between

San Lorenzo

and

Boca

was hot, and the great controversy occurred in the 47th minute of the first half, when the referee

Facundo Tello

sent off the xeneize defender

Agustín Sandez

after an unsuccessful kick on the humanity of his namesake

Agustín Giay

.

A few minutes later, after reviewing the play in VAR, the referee who was at the Qatar 2022 World Cup backtracked on his decision, canceled the red card and ended up giving the youth team a yellow card led by Jorge Almirón.

What happened?

Indeed, Sandez threw himself with unusual violence on his colleague Giay but the kick did not touch the boy from San Lorenzo, who also rolled on the grass, making the scene even more spectacular.

However, beyond the fact that there was no blow, the action of the Boca side was the reason for a sanction by Tello.

The soccer environment commonly speaks of "giving or trying to give" a kick.

But what does the regulation say?

The interpretation plays its part in these cases, almost always giving the right to the arbitrators in their rulings beyond what is believed to be fair or not.

It is that the regulation, on the one hand, talks about

direct free kick

violations and, on the other, 

acts of rough play

deserving of expulsion.

Rule 12 of the IFAB is the one that refers to the so-called "Fouls and misconduct".

And that is where the famous phrase

"give or try to give"

appears .

"A direct free kick will be awarded if, in the judgment of the referee, a player commits one of the following fouls against an opponent in a reckless, reckless manner or using excessive force: charging; jumping over; kicking or attempting to do so; push; hit or attempt (including headers); tackle or challenge for the ball; trip or attempt".

On the other hand, the paragraph that speaks of "infractions punishable with expulsion" includes among its variants

"rough and serious play (lack of extreme hardness)"

but does not say anything about

"giving or trying to give".

It is there that the aforementioned interpretation of the referee comes into play, who ended up playing when he saw the VAR monitor

.

"Tackles or disputes with the ball that endanger the physical integrity of an opponent or in which the player uses excessive force or brutality must be penalized as "rough and serious play" (extreme harshness fouls). Any player who attacks against an adversary in the dispute for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind, using one or both legs with excessive force or endangering the physical integrity of the adversary, he will be playing excessively hard", he indicates, textually

.


Now, did Tello do the right thing?

At first glance he thought he saw Sandez hit Giay and sent him off.

There the VAR in charge of

Hernán Mastrángelo

acted correctly , which must review all the expulsions and warned the referee that there was no blow.

The referee annulled the expulsion and gave Sandez a yellow card, who was later replaced.

Tello returned to referee Boca after the scandalous final of the Champions Trophy, where he drew 10 red cards and Xeneize ended up with 5 sent off, causing the game to be suspended.

The judge then went to the World Cup in Qatar, where he performed correctly, and in this tournament he has directed several classics, including San Lorenzo against Huracán, in which he gave a disputed penalty to the Globe.
