Estudiantes respond to guard of honour row, fresh Carrillo dispute | OneFootball

Estudiantes will present its defense this Tuesday before the Disciplinary Tribunal regarding the act of turning their backs in the guard of honor for Rosario Central on Sunday, as a way to express their discontent over the decision to designate the Canalla as “League Champion” the previous week, after finishing first in the annual table.

After this incident, in which the players did not comply with the protocol indicated by the Professional League and are therefore subject to sanctions, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) opened a case against Pincha. Since then, the club had 48 hours to prepare its defense, which will take place this Tuesday.

Additionally, through Bulletin No. 6793 Bis, the Tribunal explained that the players facing 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 guard of honor).

In Bulletin No. 6625, published in February of this year, the AFA stated that it would be mandatory to perform a “guard of honor for the squad of the champion team or winner of a competition” and that it should be done “in the first home match.” Although this measure was not strictly followed, in the midst of its dispute with the AFA, the La Plata club could face sanctions.

On the other hand, Estudiantes will request a reduction in the punishment given to Carrillo, who received a four-match ban after elbowing Joaquín Laso off the ball while tussling during the loss to Tigre. So far, he has served two matches (against Argentinos and Central), so the club will seek to have him available for the quarterfinal match against Central Córdoba.
