If Deportivo Riestra
's matches
are often looked at with a magnifying glass due to the controversial mistakes that favored them on their way to the Professional League, a promotion they achieved last season, what happened this Wednesday on the Temperley field could be the culminating point : The referee
Joaquín Gil
sanctioned an unusual penalty in the 97th minute of the round of 32 match of the
Argentine Cup
to beat
Comunicaciones
1-0.
Rude mistake by Joaquín Gil in Riestra - Communications.
There is no infringement by Cipriano Treppo on Gonzalo Bravo.
It's not criminal.

With the game tied,
a non-existent foul by Christian Montero on Gonzalo Bravo was sanctioned by the match judge with the maximum penalty.
Gil's refereeing horror was such that the Communications footballers went crazy in their protests, the members of the coaching staff led by Arnaldo Sialle joined in and it was only possible to kick in the 105th minute.
"There was contact,"
Bravo himself justified.
Finally, it was a 1-0 victory thanks to Nicolás Benegas
' goal
for the team recently promoted to the First Division, which will now face in the round of 16.
to the winner of Newell's and Midland.
The Postman players, as expected, went on top of the judge and the Police had to intervene
