The blatant foul Gonzalo Pereira ignored to Colón’s detriment | OneFootball

A play filled with violence unleashed total outrage in the Colón world. During the match, an incident occurred that should have resulted in a penalty kick and an exemplary disciplinary sanction, but referee Gonzalo Pereira inexplicably chose to ignore it.

The footage clearly shows how Ruíz, the captain of Acassuso, directly attacks Pier Barrios. The situation was far from a simple in-game clash: the defender for “El Quemero” landed a punch to the face of the Sabalero player and, after he fell, the most reprehensible act followed: he stomped on his head while he was on the ground.

Despite the severity of the aggression and the clear evidence of the impact, Pereira neither awarded the penalty nor sent off the offender, letting a foul go unpunished that, beyond being a technical infraction, represented extremely unsportsmanlike conduct. A refereeing performance that will remain under scrutiny for its lack of authority.
