The infraction generated a small brawl between several players when suddenly the cameras panned to the referee Augustus Aragon showing the red card to the Venezuelan first Bryant Ortega and then to Colo Barco.

The reason that led the Ecuadorian referee to leave both teams with 10 players was the observation of the boy who left Boca pick up a ball in your hand and throw it in Ortega’s facewho accepted the Argentine’s provocation and returned the childish gesture.

Barco, after receiving the notification of the expulsion, left the playing field without protesting, drinking water towards the changing rooms. Such an attitude, added to the game action that led to the red card, They didn’t get along with Brian Sarmiento at all.

Now Javier Mascherano will have to evaluate how to replace his left back to face the red and white team. The biggest problem lies in the lack of available variants that can occupy defensive positions. Aaron Quiros Maybe he’s the one to replace Colo, while Marco Di Cesare He has the possibility of being part of the central defense despite not having fully recovered from the discomfort in his right hamstring.
