The end of the match between Racing Club and Platense in Vicente López it was scandalous. And this was due in large part to the actions of Gabriel Arias, who had controversial gestures towards the public of Calamar. Referee Facundo Tello warned him and sent off the goalkeeper when he was on his way to the locker room. Minutes later, Fernando Gago referred to the fact and condemned it: “He was wrong.”
The game had already come to a boil towards the end because from Platense they understood that the goalkeeper had been there for a long time. A few minutes before, Eugenio Mena had received the red card and since then the visiting team clung to the minimal advantage that Maximiliano Romero had given them at 14 minutes of the complement.
Of course, Arias’s reaction is not justified, as when the game ended he ran into the Platense fans behind the goal. For several minutes, his companions tried to calm him down, but they mightn’t. Fernando Gago’s field assistant, Federico Insúa, and even another player with a long career like Emiliano Vecchio, were not able to stop him either.
This situation led to the local soccer players also reacting who immediately went to look for the goalkeeper and captain of Racing Club. On the way to the changing rooms, the goalkeeper heard insults falling from the stalls, and repeated the obscene gestures with his hands. This was warned by the referee Facundo Tello, who ended up expelling him. Also the local player, Carlo Lattanzio.
“He was wrong, I think Gabi is not one to react like that. I spoke very briefly in the locker room and it is something that should not happen. It was a mistake that he made, many times emotions are not carried with the calm that they should be, but he should not have acted like that, ”said Fernando Gago at a press conference. “I don’t know what happened, the only thing I can say is that the football player shouldn’t react to people. There are situations that go beyond and Gabi was wrong, “continued Gago.
Meanwhile, regarding the expulsion of Eugenio Mena, who had had the yellow card drawn to reach the fifth and meet the date that comes once morest Unión, I find that he was not going to play because he was called up by the Chilean team, he clarified: “The expulsion is a quick play and I think it’s fine, although I can’t see it very well. We did not seek expulsion, we ran the risk of playing five minutes with one less for a yellow card that we really did not seek.
Like Mena, Gabriel Arias was not going to play once morest Tatengue either, but his case is particular since Eugenio remains with four yellow cards and he would be on the next day once morest Rosario Central in Arroyito (Wednesday, October 5). On the other hand, the goalkeeper might receive an even greater punishment than one day for his controversial gestures towards the stands.
