FPF Appeals Tribunal Upholds Clásico Sanctions, Leaving Ureña and Gorosito on Six-Match Bans

The FPF appeals panel upheld multi‑match bans after the clásico, citing the referee’s report with repeat‑offender status.

Overview

  • The tribunal confirmed suspensions of Rodrigo Ureña (six matches), Néstor Gorosito (six), Renzo Garcés (four) and Carlos Zambrano (two).
  • Alianza Lima’s psychologist Giacomo Scerpella had his four‑match suspension annulled in the appeals ruling.
  • The decisions stem from referee Jordi Espinoza’s match report, with the FPF noting reincidencia as a factor in longer bans.
  • Ureña publicly denied insulting officials, said he received no face‑to‑face hearing, and alleged prior racist remarks about his nationality were never recorded.
  • Alianza figures pushed back, with Carlos Zambrano criticizing the sanctions and missing the 3–4 loss to Deportivo Garcilaso while suspended, as ex‑player Henry Quinteros labeled Gorosito’s six‑game ban excessive.
