During the match against Atlético de San Luis on matchday 2 of the Clausura 2026, Ramón Juárez started as a starter instead of Sebastián Cáceres.

Right in the 19th minute, a great play by the opponent left Sanabria completely alone in front of the goal, but Ramón Juárez, with his speed, was catching up to him. Noticing that the ball had gotten ahead, the San Luis player decided to fall for an alleged contact with Ramón Juárez.

The referee, without hesitation, decided to show the red card to the América defender, and then in the replay, we could see that the contact was minimal. It even shows how Sanabria steps without problems after the contact and then lets himself fall.

In the end, the referee's decision stood, as the VAR team decided not to call him to review the play, following a clear mistake by the referee, Reynoso Arce.

The disciplinary committee decided to withdraw the red card.

Club América, for obvious reasons, appealed this expulsion, and the disciplinary committee of Liga MX decided to lift the suspension, so he will be available without issues for the next match against Pachuca.

It is clear that the committee knew this expulsion was a mistake, so they had no choice but to withdraw the red card.

Unfortunately, the damage is done, and América ended up losing that match, but at least justice was served for Ramón, who was unjustly going to miss the duel against Pachuca.
