Tigre vs. Barracas and the refereeing took center stage at 17 minutes into the first half. A long ball into the area of Guapo for Nacho Russo's run and a clear grab by Kevin Jappert. He held the forward by his shirt, and he ended up on the ground. Yes, although there was some exaggeration in that last moment, the shirt pulling was evident. However, referee Jorge Baliño did not call a penalty. And the VAR, led by Héctor Paletta, did not correct it either.

Baliño had not refereed Barracas for more than three years. The last time was in July 2022, in a match that ended in scandal against Patronato. Numerous controversial situations, goals inexplicably disallowed, and players from Patrón who confronted the referee at the end of the match. The police had to intervene.
