An unusual situation occurred on Thursday night in Alta Córdoba in the duel between
Instituto
and
Argentinos Juniors
for matchday 12 of the Professional League Cup. The thing is that
Maximiliano Romero
, Bicho forward who wears the number 9, came out to play the second half with the
number 25 on his back and the last name of Lucas Gómez
. And he scored the goal to make it 1-1. What happened?
Romero was on the bench during the first half and left his shirt resting on the back of his seat. After halftime they realized on the Argentinos Juniors substitute bench that
someone had stolen the shirt with the number 9.
So, while the striker who now has 5 goals for the La Paternal club was warming up,
Pablo Guede
and his collaborators explained the situation to the fourth referee and the Professional League observer who understood what the problem was and allowed him to Romero jumps onto the playing field wearing a teammate's shirt, although the regulations do not allow it.

Maxi Romero came out to play with Lucas Gómez's 25 shirt
and the pants with the number 9 that he usually wears and with which he is noted on the good faith list of Argentinos Juniors for the current championship. At 37 minutes, he dominated a ball in the area after a cross from Sebastián Prieto and scored from the right to make it 1-1.
