When it seemed that the ban had ended there, and as the game continued in another sector of the field, the Salsipuedes player approached the rival with whom he had quarreled without him noticing and hit him with a violent punch which hit exactly in the middle of the face.
The neighborhood park player he fell heavily to the ground, passed out from the violence of the blow. His attacker took the opportunity to climb on top of him and keep hitting him with his fist, then stood up and kicked the opponent, who was still lying on the ground.

The attacker, meanwhile, was arrested by the police and remained in custody for a few hours after being reported.
