In the middle of the struggle, the midfielder complained of a slap to the face, but since the judge let the play continue, he kicked Pacheco hard, who had already touched his central defender.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Deportivo Municipal bench, including Ángel Comizzo, who entered the field, angrily protested to the referee, who did not hesitate to show the red card.
