AFA Bans Alfredo Berti Four Matches After Copa Argentina Final Incident

The disciplinary ruling following Independiente Rivadavia’s shootout win leaves enforcement timing in doubt, including one suspension length.

Overview

  • Independiente Rivadavia won the Copa Argentina on penalties over Argentinos Juniors after finishing the match with nine players.
  • The AFA Disciplinary Tribunal suspended head coach Alfredo Jesús Berti for four matches under Article 13.1 for misconduct toward officials.
  • Goalkeeping coach Diego Próspero was also suspended, with the published ruling listing a four-match ban.
  • Players Franco Maximiliano Amarfil and Alejo Osella received one-match suspensions for double cautions under IFAB Law 12.
  • The length of Matías Fernández’s ban is reported inconsistently—Diario Uno cites four matches per the ruling while Los Andes reports one—and outlets differ on whether the suspensions apply to league fixtures or only future Copa Argentina ties, with La Capital citing reports they would count only in the cup.
