Controversial goal by Milton Giménez for Boca: chest, back, or hand?

Huracán was winning and already savoring victory at La Bombonera, but a corner in the final minutes of the match led to a poor clearance by Hernán Galíndez, one of the standout players for El Globo throughout the game, and a rebound off the goalkeeper’s punch that struck Milton Giménez and resulted in the dramatic equalizer.

The entire team of Diego Martínez protested over a possible handball by the former Atlanta and Comunicaciones player.
