The governing body of South American football announced the sanction imposed on Albos for the defender’s statements.
Colo Colo has its sights set on the national championship. However, this Thursday Conmebol announced a sanction against the Albos for what happened during the match against River Plate in the Copa Libertadores. On its official website, the organization detailed a fine of eight thousand dollars to the Cacique and also issued a warning to Emiliano Amor for violation of literal article 11.2 c) and d) of the Disciplinary Code.
The Argentinian defender’s absence is due to “offensive, insulting behavior or defamatory remarks of any nature.” The defender, once the first leg was over, pointed the finger at the refereeing. “They charged the smallest and the faults for themselves. They didn’t go and check the VAR either. I hope the same thing doesn’t happen to River. We feel like we played a great game, and so do they. They are very strong and do not need to be charged for these little ones. Everyone has already seen it, no need to say more, the images are there. I don’t know at least why they didn’t go to VAR. I hope River informs the referee of everything that happens,” he said.
River, on alert
The confederation also applied a severe financial sanction to River Plate and its technical director, Marcelo Gallardo, for the incidents that occurred to Núñez during the rematch against Colo Colo. The Argentine club and its coach must pay a fine of 112 thousand dollars for the delay in resuming the match after the break.
In addition, after the return of the semi-finals against Atlético Mineiro, the Monumental suffered the closure of one of its stands. This is for the welcome into the team. This decision opened a controversy in Argentina. River Plate president Jorge Brito expressed his disagreement with the sanction, arguing that other clubs had made similar departures without being sanctioned.
