Mariano Pavone fumed over River penalty snub v Boca: “Robinho played” | OneFootball

On social media, the former striker claimed that River was harmed by the controversy surrounding the ending.

As part of matchday 15 of the Apertura Tournament, at the Más Monumental Stadium, with a goal from Leandro Paredes from the penalty spot near the end of the first half, Boca beat River 1-0, thus taking the first Superclásico of the season.

Throughout the 90 minutes, the match did not have many controversial moments, until the final play of the game, when the Millonario players ran toward referee Darío Herrera to ask him to check VAR for a possible penalty by Lautaro Blanco on Lucas Martínez Quarta.

Regarding this controversy, Mariano Pavone, a former player who played for River, responded in a post by Diario Olé, in which they reviewed Blanco’s shove on Martínez Quarta on the edge of the box, for which everyone from the Núñez side asked for at least a review.

“Robinho played,” the former striker wrote, along with the money emoji, clearly suggesting that River were robbed in the Superclásico, as he believed it was a penalty and that, at the very least, Héctor Paletta on VAR should have called Herrera over to review it and let him make the final decision.
