Catalogue of insults: Zunino's damning report on Marcos Rojo | OneFootball

Racing defender Marcos Rojo came under heavy scrutiny after the contents of Sebastián Zunino’s refereeing report became known. Following his scandalous sending-off at El Cilindro, the former Boca player unleashed a furious barrage of insults at the referee, which were detailed word for word, pointing to an exemplary punishment from the Disciplinary Tribunal that would keep him off the pitch for several matches.

Marcos Rojo’s night in Avellaneda was a true nightmare that began with his own mistake on River’s goal and ended in the worst possible way. After an off-the-ball incident against Lucas Martínez Quarta that VAR did not let go, the Racing captain completely lost his temper. According to the report Zunino submitted to the authorities, the defender confronted him defiantly and shouted directly at him: “You son of a bitch. Who put you here? You’re a disaster, motherfucker, you fucking coward.” The ferocity of the insults, partly picked up by the broadcast cameras, has now been officially recorded, worsening the situation as they were direct verbal attacks against the match official.

The ban for Marcos Rojo could be MORE THAN FOUR MATCHES

The refereeing report did not focus only on the player, but also put Gustavo Costas’ coaching staff under scrutiny. Sebastián Zunino detailed that Francisco Bersce, a Racing assistant coach, was also sent off after repeating the defender’s insults and verbally abusing the fourth official with a blunt “son of a bitch”. The atmosphere of hostility had been building since halftime, when Rojo and Costas had already been booked for angrily protesting an alleged penalty before Facundo Colidio opened the scoring, a situation the referee described as the start of inappropriate conduct.
