Atlético Tucumán formalized its discontent with the refereeing of Fernando Espinoza through a statement in which it denounces systematic harm against the institution. The club based its position after analyzing the audiovisual records of the match against Instituto, emphasizing that its complaint seeks to «preserve the transparency and fairness» of the competition.
The reaction from the Argentine Football Association came through its treasurer, Pablo Toviggino. The official broke his silence on social media to confront Mario Leito, revisiting a history of tensions that reached its most critical point three years ago, when the AFA executive used intimidating terms to discredit Tucumán's claims.
The trigger for this crisis was a penalty awarded in the Decano’s box for a minimal holding. The absence of technology to review the play, due to technical errors in the broadcast, left the club without the possibility of review, deepening the sense of injustice that motivates its presentation to Viamonte Street.
