El momento en que Santiago Corbalán Olivera agrede con un codazo al jugador de Tercer Tiempo durante el partido en Villa Devoto.

Overview

  • The incident occurred Sunday at Colegio Cardenal Copello in Villa Devoto during a BEA game between Colegio de Abogados de San Isidro and Tercer Tiempo, where No. 4 elbowed a rival in the neck and then stepped on his head, sparking a brawl and halting play.
  • Santiago Corbalán Olivera was identified as the aggressor and was expelled permanently from all BEA competitions for repeated aggression and grave violent conduct.
  • The BEA Tribunal awarded the match 20–0 to Tercer Tiempo and issued formal admonishments to both teams following the mass altercation.
  • Three Tercer Tiempo players—Gonzalo Zungri, Kalil Sat, and Federico Romano—received multi‑game suspensions for their roles in the post‑assault melee.
  • The video of the assault spread rapidly via TikTok account @basquetsos; the injured player is reported out of danger, and any criminal or civil action remains unclear given BEA’s limited jurisdiction.
