Controversial goal by Milton Giménez for Boca: chest, back, or hand?

Huracán was leading and savoring the victory at La Bombonera, but a corner in the final minutes of the match led to a poor clearance by Hernán Galíndez, who had been one of El Globo’s standout players throughout the game, and a rebound from the goalkeeper’s clearance off Milton Giménez ended in a dramatic equalizer.

The entire team of Diego Martínez protested for a possible handball by the former Atlanta and Comunicaciones player. Referee Pablo Echavarría initially called handball, but VAR summoned him and reviewed the controversial play.
