The action that still arouses controversy in Racing-Boca: the action of Sebastián Villa has already taken place and the ball can be seen under the arm of Jonathan Gómez.
The controversy on the last game of the classic between Racing and Boca continued on the social networks of both clubs. Fernando Rapallini’s decision pleased the academic fans, but the Xeneizes continue to be angry as they believe there was a hand from defender Jonathan Gómez.
Last night, as soon as the games took place, minute by minute on the official Boca Twitter account (@BocaJrsOficial) they warned “There is a penalty check”. And then, once they noticed the referee’s decision to end the match, they posted the emoji with their hands up, as if they didn’t understand anything.
The response from the other side of the Riachuelo came on Monday 15, capturing the Boca tweet and responding with the image in which Villa’s clear infringement on the academic defender is observed.
The historic classic of Argentine football was coming to an end with the result zero. Boca was looking for the heroic in the last game of the match. At the gate of the small area, Jonathan Gómez and Sebastián Villa went to play the ball. The attacker leapt forward with both feet while the local player, in his attempt to push back, dragged the ball with his left arm for a few centimeters and for a few seconds.
From the VAR, referee Fernando Espinoza warned Rapallini that he should review that last action. The main referee did not take long to ratify what he saw on the pitch: there was no intention and, therefore, it was not a penalty. Then, he decreed the end of the game. Which due to the controversy, he is still playing.
