Aguerre's bizarre clash with the referee in Platense v Peñarol draw | OneFootball

In the 1-1 draw between Platense and Peñarol in the Copa Libertadores, the Uruguayan goalkeeper starred in an incredible sequence that ended with a yellow card for “scaring” referee Juan Gabriel Benítez.

Aguerre set the ball down for a goal kick, but suddenly stood up and confronted the Paraguayan official, spreading his arms wide in a defiant and mocking gesture that earned him a booking.

In the 33rd minute of the first half, while Peñarol was temporarily in front, someone from the “Calamar” supporters’ section threw him a small pastry; far from getting angry or complaining, Aguerre picked it up off the ground and ate it.

With this draw, Platense is in a very strong position in Group E with seven points, as runner-up to leaders Corinthians. By contrast, Peñarol is still winless in this Copa campaign and sinks to last place with just two points, left on the verge of elimination.
