Atlético Tucumán formalized its dissatisfaction with the refereeing of Fernando Espinoza through a statement where it denounces systematic harm towards the institution. The club based its stance after analyzing the audiovisual records of the match against Instituto, emphasizing that its complaint seeks to «preserve the transparency and fairness» of the competition.

The reaction from the Argentine Football Association came through its treasurer, Pablo Toviggino. The official broke his silence on social media to confront Mario Leito, revisiting a history of tensions that reached its most critical point three years ago, when the AFA executive used intimidating terms to discredit the Tucumán claims.
