Overview
- The Supercopa Internacional final ended in a brawl after Rosario Central scored a stoppage-time third goal Saturday and referee Darío Herrera showed red cards to Fabricio Iacovich and Agustín Sández.
- On Thursday the AFA Tribunal de Disciplina issued provisional suspensions for Iacovich and Sández under articles 47 and 48 of the Disciplinary Code and allowed both players to submit written defenses.
- The tribunal asked the Liga Profesional de Fútbol delegate to report on what occurred in the stadium tunnels and locker rooms because those episodes were not fully detailed in the referee’s match report.
- Estudiantes and Rosario Central received formal notice under Article 36 and have five business days to review the file and file institutional responses as the investigation continues.
- With the case still open the provisional measures remove the two players from competition and set the stage for definitive sanctions that could affect club reputations and discipline procedures if new testimony or video evidence is added to the record.
