Boca vs Atletico Tucuman capture of unpaid penalty
One of the great controversies of the date 16 of the Professional League occurred in the Bombonera, on the end of the match that Boca transformed the leader of Atlético Tucumán 2-1. In the epilogue of the match Carlos Zambrano went to play a ball in the area with his elbow raised and hit Maestro Puch in the face, but neither referee Fernando Espinoza nor the VAR understood that it was a penalty.
Even after the match, with the eloquence of the visuals and replays, Espinoza insisted that his decision was the right one. We interpret the same thing with the VAR. After seeing the play I am still convinced. If we take the photo, it’s red and a prisoner. But you have to see the general movement and there is no penalty “assured the judge in a conversation with Paso in Paso.
Espinoza was very convinced: “Zambrano’s thing was just a leaning arm. I am convinced. We spoke yes with the VAR. The VAR calls if there is a clear and manifest error and they have not seen it. Then we saw it again and it’s not a penalty. “
The controversy: it was criminal
