VIDEO | Nacho Arce breaks a finger, lashes out at Barracas player | OneFootball

An episode of total chaos occurred in the first half of extra time between Deportivo Riestra and Barracas Central. A deep pass was made to Facundo Bruera, the forward for the Guapo, who contested the ball against Ignacio Arce, the goalkeeper for the Malevo. Nacho's movement when he tried to grab the ball and Bruera's to win the ball resulted in an injury to one of the #1's fingers.

The play ended in a goal for Barracas, but everything was invalidated due to the offside position of the former San Lorenzo forward. Immediately, Arce took off the glove from his left hand and showed his injured finger to Nicolás Ramírez, the match referee. Far from stopping there, the goalkeeper reacted with a lot of anger towards Bruera, arguing that he intended to hit him.

However, the image clearly shows how both went for the ball. It was a normal play, Bruera never intended to injure his opponent, although he did impact his hand, but the #1 never had control of the ball. Nonetheless, due to the blow he received, Arce had to leave the field with his finger bandaged by the doctors.

Nahuel Manganelli entered in his place. An initial diagnosis on the field indicated that Arce had suffered a luxation fracture in the index finger of his left hand.
