The controversy returned to League Cup of Argentine football. 19 minutes of the first half had passed on the Huracán field, at the crossroads between Central Tentsthe premises, and Independent. Shortly before, Matías Giménez had ahead of Rojo. It was Rojo’s best moment, in an action in the middle of the field, Alexis Dominguez drove the ball; He advanced her a little and Ivan Marcone He went to the crossroads, and the Barracas Central forward went with the iron on the right leg of the Rojo player, who fell spectacularly, and it was immediately noticeable how he had been injured.
Immediately, the referee Pablo Dovalo He gave Domínguez the yellow card, despite the claims of all of Independiente and coach Carlos Tevez, who demanded the attacker’s expulsion. While they were treating Marcone, the Independiente coach asked Dóvalo to go and observe the play again on the VAR, but the referee did not do so. And no correction from Luis Lobo Medina, who was in charge of video referee assistance.
Was there more? Yes, because after that infraction, Alexis Domínguez was once again an important protagonist in the game. At 45, Alan Cantero recovered the ball on the left, and gave it to Rodrigo Insúa, who first put it inside the area for Maximiliano Zalazar, and the forward upset the Rojo defense with a backward pass, and that’s where it arrived. Domínguez to push the ball into the net and score the partial 2-1 for Guapo. A great goal for the collective play, yes. But it possibly would not have arrived if Domínguez had been sent off for that strong foul on Marcone.
Another action discussed at the beginning of the second half was an alleged handball in the Barracas Central area, in a center that fell and hit the right hand of Facundo Mater, who was marking Matías Giménez, but here there was clearly no overt action to look for the ball nor did it take up excessive volume.
Later, in the usual press conference, Carlos Tevez was very harsh with the referee. “We are leaving hot. This guy has to finish it because he won’t be able to continue. He shits on kids’ work. This is going to be very difficult to continue. He has a history with Barracas and today he stole from us”was one of his phrases.
And he continued along the same path: “Iván’s is red. It changed the game for us. Being silent is not fair, all technicians have to unite and not get screwed on us. You play these games against 14. You already know it from the previous one.” Apache felt very upset, during the game and then, especially, at the time of the appointments: “Damián’s last one is a penalty. They start you with the little ones and they take you out of the game. You answer him and he gives you no arguments. I’m not going to talk about VAR and arbitrations. Today is very obvious. “I don’t want them to help me or screw me over.”
Later, Alexis Dominguez He was clear: “I never wanted to hurt Marcone.” The curious thing is that Barracas Central, with Dóvalo as judge, got 61 percent of the points. Of 23 games, they won 11, tied 9 and only lost 3. They consulted the referee about Apache’s very harsh words. “I didn’t hear his statements. But you can say what you want, talking is free”, he warned. In reference to the situation of the controversy, she clarified: “I took out the card that I consideredthe VAR confirmed the decision to me.”
And the controversy continued almost until midnight. Pablo Tovigginotreasurer of the AFA and right hand of Chiqui Tapia, usually appears on social networks when there are harsh questions about the Argentine soccer organization. Without mentioning it, the leader reminded Tevez on Twitter of the play in which he fractured Ezekiel Ham, the Argentinos Juniors midfielder, today at Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza. And he even referred to the (alleged) lack of the DT’s analytical title.
“Since you were not so studious in the DT course (I say for the analytical one) there are surely things that you find confusing. Strange of you, while playing you committed prison offenses and they only ended in yellow!! I didn’t listen to you in some previous games either, which I reserve. Anyway, Wind Memory!!!”, wrote the leader in charge of the Federal Council that brings together the leagues in the interior of the country.
