The Rosario Central - Racing match caused a lot of controversy after football took a back seat in the game and the officiating stole the spotlight in the Liga Profesional quarter-finals. 

At the end of the match, Diego Milito, La Academia's coach, exploded in front of the media and sent a strong message: "Argentine football is broken."

"Today we feel robbed, because I think everyone saw it. Ending a match the way it ended leaves us sad and angry, wondering how much longer this will go on, because you come in full of hope, thinking this can change, and it keeps happening. Today was a disgraceful match, I think everyone saw it, and it hurts me to end it this way." 

"I think Argentine football is broken, I think this has gone too far, I think something has to be done. Today we all have to reflect, and I am fully willing to help start rebuilding our football," he concluded. 

Darío Herrera's officiating tonight will go down in Argentine history. What do you think should change in the Liga Profesional?
