Overview
- Defender Eddie Guevara alleges that during the July 12 Serie A match in Cuenca Nahuel Gallardo directed the slurs “negro” and “mono” at him
- Guevara says he informed both the referee and match commissioner yet no warnings or temporary suspensions were applied under FIFA’s anti-racism escalation protocol
- Delfín SC and Gallardo have issued no public comment or defense since the accusation emerged in Argentina and Ecuadorian media
- LigaPro de Ecuador remains silent more than two days after the incident with no official statement or formal disciplinary proceeding announced
- Potential sanctions now depend entirely on whether the referee documented the discriminatory language in the official match report, enabling action by the national federation or CONMEBOL
