At 37 minutes into the second half, Juan Vera tried to hit a header into the Boca area, which was guarded by players from both teams. In the struggle for the ball, Advíncula received a blow from Vera, which caused the Peruvian to lose his balance and touch the ball with his arm. Furthermore, during the action, the Peruvian winger ended up involuntarily touching the ball with his hand.
This situation generated complaints from the entire Trinidense yl teamled referee Gustavo Tejera, from Uruguay, to review the play on the VAR screen, supervised by Chilean Juan Lara. After analyzing the action, Tejera decided to take a foul in attack, ruling out the possibility of a penalty for the visit. This decision, accepted a priori, generated the fury of the Guaraní team and its coach José Arrua.
On the morning of this Wednesday, Conmebol revealed the exchange between the main referee and the VAR referee. According to the words of Juan Lara, head of the VAR, during the dialogue with Tejera: “It hits Advíncula’s hand which expands the volume, but it seems to me that the arm is a result of the foul that the white player makes, that’s why he opens his arm”. Lara added: “It seems to me that it can be punishable, but it is always a product of the displacement of the white player.”
The VAR insisted on pointing out: “It seems to me that it is sanctionable, but clearly I have a foul by the white player.” In addition, another of the judges in the booth warned Tejera: “He is going to be shown Advíncula’s hand but with the previous foul.” Finally, Lara concluded: “There I have the hand that expands the volume, but it is a product of the lack that the white player makes.” Given this information, Tejera, surrounded by players from both teams and with the Bombonera waiting, agreed with his colleague and decided: “I’m going with a foul in favor of the defense.” Lara reaffirmed: “Perfect, Gustavo, I totally agree. Foul in favor of Boca.”
Referee Tejera not only did not sanction a penalty, but also charged an infraction in favor of Boca. (AFP)
