After the
scandalous match between Riestra and Comunicaciones
for the 32nd final of the
Argentine Cup
, the
AFA made the decision to suspend referee Joaquín Gil
for the penalty sanction in the last minutes of the game in favor of the Bajo Flores team.
The native of San Pedro
was going to dispense justice this Monday for the Primera Nacional in the duel between Atlético de Rafaela and Miter de Santiago del Estero
, but he was replaced by
Jorge Baliño
.
As was?
Seven minutes of the nine that referee Joaquín Gil
had added
were being played when, in a
cross into the area, Cipriano Treppo
from Comunicaciones
went to cover the position and in the movement he had minimal contact with Gonzalo Bravo
de Riestra.
The
Blanquiegro
player feels
minimal contact and drops down
.
At that moment
Gil decides to charge a penalty
.
The action unleashed the anger of all Communications players
who considered the ruling to be unfair.
Finally
the penalty was taken, Riestra changed it for a goal and qualified for the next phase of the Argentine Cup
.
Once the match was over,
all Communications surrounded the referee to continue asking him for explanations
for his decision.

Those who also
expressed their anger
before the official television cameras were
Arnaldo Sialle
,
DT of Communications and
the president of the institution,
Ezequiel Segura
.
"What hurts is the impunity, with our humility we work every day, we try to support our family with honesty and honesty and these things crush you
," Sialle declared to TyC Sports.
On the other hand,
Segura said
that it is the country of world champions and that this arbitration cannot be had.
"This guy has the nerve to steal the Argentine Cup
," concluded the president of
Cartero
.
Given the anger expressed on social networks,
the AFA took action on the matter and decided to suspend it until further notice
.
The controversial penalty once again puts at
the center of the discussion of why there is no VAR in the Argentine Cup
when it does exist in
the Professional League
matches .
