D'Onofrio hits out at VAR after River lose to Boca: “All in doubt” | OneFootball

The former president of the Millionaire, through his social media, questioned the referees of the Superclásico over the controversy at the end.

River and Boca played in a heated Superclásico. As expected in a match of this magnitude, there were clashes between players, scuffles, ten bookings, hard tackles, and plenty of controversy. The biggest talking point of all came at the very end of the match.

The home side was losing 1-0, time was about to run out, and the Millionaire’s center backs went into the opposition box to see if they could force Boca into their own goal. After a long ball, Lucas Martínez Quarta went up for a header, Lautaro Blanco pushed him from behind without trying to play the ball at any point, and the River defender went down.

Darío Herrera ruled that it was not a penalty, but VAR — with Héctor Paletta in charge — did not decide to review the play either, which sparked outrage among River fans, including Rodolfo D’Onofrio, the club’s former president from 2013 to 2021.

D’Onofrio’s fiery tweet

Through his social media, on Monday morning, Rodolfo D’Onofrio posted: “VAR in the River-Boca match didn’t call to review the penalty in River’s favor, it was a crystal-clear PENALTY. Will there be JUSTICE? Everything is in doubt.” The former top executive of the Millionaire was clear in his complaint, having historically stood at the opposite end of Claudio Tapia’s administration.
