Estudiantes defend back-turned guard of honour, row over Carrillo | OneFootball

Estudiantes will present their defense this Tuesday before the Disciplinary Tribunal for the back-to-back corridor they made against Rosario Central on Sunday, as a measure to express their discontent over the designation given to Canalla the previous week as "League Champion," after finishing first in the annual table.

Following this incident, in which the players did not comply with the protocol indicated by the Professional League and are therefore exposed to sanctions, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) opened a case against Pincha. Since then, the club had 48 hours to formulate their defense, which they will do this Tuesday.

Additionally, through Bulletin No. 6793 Bis, the Tribunal explained that the players exposed to sanctions are Fernando Muslera, Román Gómez, Santiago Núñez, Leandro González Pírez, Tiago Palacios, Facundo Farías, Santiago Arzamendia, Edwuin Cetré, Ezequiel Piovi, Cristian Medina, Mikel Amondarain, and Lucas Alario (who was a substitute and informed Fatu Broun and Ángel Di María about what would happen in the corridor).

In Bulletin No. 6625, published in February of this year, the AFA stated that it would be mandatory to have a "recognition corridor for the champion team or competition winner" and that it should be carried out "in the first home game." Although this measure was not strictly followed, amid their confrontation with the AFA, the club from La Plata could be sanctioned.

On the other hand, Estudiantes will request a reduction in the punishment received by Carrillo, who was given a four-match suspension after an off-the-ball elbow to Joaquín Laso while they were tussling in the defeat against Tigre. So far, he has served two matches (against Argentinos and Central), so the club will seek for him to be available against Central Córdoba in the quarterfinals.
