Overview

  • A BEA match at Colegio Cardenal Copello in Villa Devoto ended after CASI’s No. 4, Santiago Corbalán Olivera, elbowed Tercer Tiempo’s No. 32 and stepped on his head, as shown in a viral @basquetsos TikTok video.
  • The BEA Tribunal of Discipline, through Bulletin No. 33/2025, permanently expelled Corbalán Olivera for repeated aggression and grave violent conduct.
  • Tercer Tiempo was awarded a 20–0 victory, both teams were formally admonished, and three Tercer Tiempo players — Gonzalo Zungri, Federico Romero and Kalil Sat — received multi‑game bans for their roles in the brawl.
  • BEA said it repudiated the violence and offered support to the injured player, who was reported to be out of danger.
  • Coverage notes uncertainty over potential criminal or civil action and stresses that BEA, a recreational league outside FeBAMBA structures, cannot extend its sanctions to other competitions.
