Hot night at the Ducó: all the controversies from Huracán v River 🔥 | OneFootball

The first controversy came near the end of the first half. After a throw-in into the box, Lucas Martínez Quarta grabbed Jordy Caicedo by the shirt. Ramírez awarded a penalty to el Globo despite River’s protests, who argued that the contact was not enough and called for a previous offside. VAR reviewed the play and confirmed the decision. Caicedo took responsibility for the kick and scored the equalizer.

In the second half, Fabio Pereyra touched Ian Subiabre inside the box and the referee once again pointed to the penalty spot. VAR upheld the decision and did not call him to review the play. Juan Fernando Quintero took the shot, but Hernán Galíndez saved it from the Colombian.

Minutes later came the hottest play of the match. After a Quintero free kick, the ball hit Emmanuel Ojeda’s hand inside the box. Ramírez didn’t see it at first, but was called by VAR to review the play. While he was watching the play, an altercation broke out between Lucas Carrizo and Facundo Colidio, who both ended up seeing the red card.

Finally, the referee awarded the penalty to River and Gonzalo Montiel converted it for the definitive 2-1.

Near the end, Huracán again asked for another penalty for an alleged push by Paulo Díaz on Juan Bisanz inside the box. But neither the referee nor VAR considered the action worthy of a penalty.
