Overview

• The Video Assistant Referee review led Nicolás Lamolina to overturn Racing’s late goal and award a penalty for a foul at the start of the play.
• Adrián Martínez, son of Barracas Central coach Rubén Insúa, scored from the spot to hand the visitors a 1-0 win.
• Lamolina defied Argentine Football Association norms by publicly defending his decision and stating “las imágenes son elocuentes.”
• Racing captain Gabriel Arias maintained that Martínez told him he touched the ball first and insisted the penalty was unjust.
• No official appeal has been filed and discussions have reignited scrutiny of VAR guidelines and referee accountability.
