In a note sent to the Court, the San Martín club asked him to “proceed to apply the current regulations, article 80 of the AFA Regulations on Transgressions and Penalties, and order the loss of the match to Club Atlético Tigre, without prejudice to “other sanctions that it considers necessary”.
In dialogue with the Jogo Bonito program, the president of “Chaca”, Néstor Di Pierro, pointed out: “In the face of such an act of violence, we ask that points be given to the injured team as stated in article 80 of the regulations.”
The article cited by the San Martín club states:
“Fine of 2 to 6 dates, of the gross value of the general admission, depending on the seriousness of the fact, to the club whose members, partiality or partisan public located in the sectors assigned to said institution, in the event of higher division matches in a competition of any category, that: (…) Throw any kind of projectiles or other elements that are used as such.
Attack the referee, assistants, technical staff, players or the general public by any means, provided that the act can be attributed to an immediate consequence of the referee’s dispute (whether the match is played or not) or a previous match.
If, as a result of the indicated cases, the start of the match or its continuation is prevented, a deduction of 9 to 30 points accredited as the relevant responsibilities will be applied to the club(s) responsible, and the loss of the category may be decided or even , disaffiliation.
(…) The Disciplinary Court may declare the responsible club team lost the match regardless of the time played and the number of goals scored. The sanctions provided for in this article will apply to any event that occurs before, during or after the match, inside or outside the stadium.”
The match between Tigre and Chacarita, for the 32nd finals of the Argentine Cup, was suspended by referee Ariel Penel after the “funebrero” player Fernando Brandán received a bottle in the face thrown from a stand.
The attack occurred after Penel sent off Tigre midfielder Agustín Cardozo, and just moments after “Matador” took the lead with a goal from Brahian Alemán.
Shortly after the suspension, Aprevide reported that the Tigre fan who threw the bottle was arrested and identified him as Axel Iván Genes, member number 58,361 of the institution.
The match was played without the presence of Chacarita supporters, with access prohibited due to a sanction by security agencies after the episodes of violence in which a fan died on February 3, at their stadium in San Martín, in the match against Deportivo Maipú for the Primera Nacional.
The winner of this key will play in the round of 16 with the winner of the match between San Lorenzo and Independiente de Chivilcoy.
