On social media, the former striker said 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 just before halftime, Boca beat River 1-0, thus claiming 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 over to ask referee Darío Herrera to review on VAR 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 revisited 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 said, along with the money bag emoji, clearly implying that River were robbed in the Superclásico, since he believed it was a penalty and that Héctor Paletta, at the VAR booth, should at least have called Herrera over to review it and let him make the final decision.
