Can he face Argentinos? AFA confirms Passerini ban after Talleres red | OneFootball

The AFA published the disciplinary bulletin after the Córdoba derby between Talleres and Belgrano and confirmed the sanction for Lucas Passerini, who was sent off near the end of the match that the Pirata won 1-0 in the Round of 16 of the Apertura Tournament.

In the end, the forward received a one-match suspension, so he will be available for this Sunday’s clash against Argentinos Juniors in the semifinals of the tournament. The suspension is already considered served with the quarterfinal match against Unión.

The bulletin also reported the penalties for the Talleres players sent off in the derby. Guido Herrera received a one-match suspension, while Alexandro Maidana was handed a two-match ban for the violent kick on Lucas Zelarayán.

Passerini had been shown the red card in the final minutes of the match at the Kempes after an altercation with Herrera. The Talleres goalkeeper pushed him several times to get him off the field to be substituted by Uvita Fernández, and the Belgrano striker reacted by confronting him. At first, referee Darío Herrera showed him a yellow card, but then changed it to red.

The referee decided to send both players off amid the tension at the end. With the ruling from the Disciplinary Tribunal, Belgrano gets back an important piece for the semifinal in La Paternal.

With this scenario, Ruso Zielinski would field the following lineup on Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Diego Maradona Stadium in La Paternal: Thiago Cardozo; Leonardo Morales, Alexis Maldonado, Lisandro López, Adrián Spörle; Santiago Longo, Adrián Sánchez; Emiliano Rigoni, Lucas Zelarayán, Francisco González Metilli; and Lucas Passerini.
