This Friday, even Ricardo Gareca himself was surprised by the punishment that CONMEBOL gave him for not coaching against Canada, which is why he was not present at the traditional press conference before the game.
But Tigre and the Chilean team were not the only ones sanctioned, because the governing body of South American football also sanctioned Argentina and its coach. Lionel Scaloni.
The reason for these punishments was the delay in the entry of the trans-Andean team into the second half of the duel against Chile.
For this reason, the technical director of the world champion team will not be able to sit on the bench against Peru, in a match that will be played this Saturday at 2100 in Miami.
In addition, as happened with Chile, the Argentine Football Association must pay a fine of 15 thousand dollars.
Let us remember that the Argentines not only committed this foul against La Roja, they also did it against Canada, something that coach Jesse Marsch angrily claimed, who even alleged a bad faith move by the “ché”.
