Referee Andrés Gariano Threatens Huracán’s Kudelka After VAR Penalties in 1-1 Draw

The audio-captured remark followed two VAR awards to Barracas Central that ended Huracán’s season.

Overview

  • Field microphones recorded Gariano telling coach Frank Kudelka, “Vamos a hablar y te voy a romper todo,” with some reports transcribing the phrase as “te voy a romper los dientes.”
  • The 1-1 result knocked Huracán out of the Torneo Clausura and derailed the club’s bid for Copa Sudamericana qualification.
  • VAR intervened on two handball calls for Barracas Central: Iván Tapia’s first penalty was saved by Sebastián Meza, while Rodrigo Insúa converted the second.
  • Post-match scenes turned tense on the pitch and near the tunnel, where Huracán players protested and Kudelka was heard urging calm and saying, “Ya está, nos robaron,” according to reports.
  • Media coverage broadly condemned the referee’s conduct, and at least one outlet reported that Kudelka resigned hours later, a development not uniformly confirmed across reports.
