VIDEO | Nacho Arce breaks a finger, lashes out at Barracas player | OneFootball

A scene of total chaos unfolded during the first half of extra time between Deportivo Riestra and Barracas Central. A through ball was played to Facundo Bruera, the Guapo striker challenged for the ball against Ignacio Arce, the Malevo goalkeeper. Nacho’s movement as he tried to grab the ball and Bruera’s attempt to win possession resulted in an injury to the #1’s finger.

The play ended in a goal for Barracas, but everything was disallowed due to an offside by the former San Lorenzo striker. Immediately, Arce took off the glove from his left hand and showed his injured finger to Nicolás Ramírez, the referee. Far from stopping there, the goalkeeper reacted furiously towards Bruera, arguing that he had intended to hit him.

However, the footage clearly shows both players going for the ball. It was a normal play, Bruera never intended to injure his opponent; he did hit his hand, but the #1 never had control of the ball. Nevertheless, due to the blow he received, Arce had to leave the field with his finger bandaged by the doctors.

Nahuel Manganelli came on in his place. An initial diagnosis on the field indicated that Arce may have suffered a dislocated fracture in the index finger of his left hand.
