Tigre v Barracas: Baliño, VAR and fresh controversies in the Clausura | OneFootball

Tigre vs. Barracas and refereeing takes center stage at the 17th minute of the first half. A long ball into the Guapo’s box for Nacho Russo’s run, and a clear shirt pull by Kevin Jappert. He grabbed the forward by his jersey and Russo ended up on the ground. Yes, although there was some exaggeration in that final moment, the shirt tug was obvious. However, referee Jorge Baliño did not award a penalty. And the VAR, led by Héctor Paletta, did not correct the decision either.

Baliño had gone more than three years without officiating a Barracas match. The last time was in July 2022, in a game that ended in scandal against Patronato. Numerous controversial situations, unbelievably disallowed goals, and Patronato players swarming the referee at the end of the match. The police had to intervene.
