América was saved from losing at the table due to improper alignment vs. Pumas

The Eagles of America They were saved from losing on the table with a score of 3-0 due to improper alignment in the second half of the game against the UNAM Pumas when considering the Disciplinary Commission that a flagrant irregularity was not committed and that the sanction was only an economic contribution.

This determination generated and raised too much dust when considering public opinion that America was favored due to its political ties and its power in Mexican soccer, but in the end it was all due to the regulations. established that contemplates these eventualities when defender Miguel Vázquez was relieved in the 60th minute by Thiago Espinosawho finally relieved the Uruguayan Sebastián Cáceres, involved in the concussion protocol.

The root of all this mess was due to the fact that the UNAM Pumas presented a disagreement in which it was stated that Vázquez was going to be replaced by Thiago Espinoza and that even the creams defender had already left the playing field and It was returned so that the relieved player was the Uruguayan Cáceres when the regulations contemplatein case of a case of shock or force majeure, the blue change, which is an extra modification.

In his claim, the entire responsibility was the whistler Luis Enrique Santander and his assistants Michel Espinoza and Enrique Bustos, as well as the fourth official Maximiliano Quintero, who did not carry out the substitutions protocol properly..

The Referees Commission detected an omission when making the changes, which does not correspond to the normative assumptions of the lineup improper provision provided for in Article 26 of the Liga MX Competition Regulations.

Due to such omission, America received a fine from the Referee Commissions for not respecting the number of opportunities or moments of planned substitutions.

In the case of the refereeing body, which was led by Luis Enrique Santander, the FMF Referees Commission will study the case and determine the responsibility they had, but it really became more scandal due to the Pumas board’s own ignorance of the substitution regulations and what the concussion protocol that defender Cáceres from América suffered suffered.

Within all this regulatory mess, much more noise was made because André Jardine’s own assistants in América, such as his compatriot Paulo Rodrigues and Phelipe Leal, interpreted that with the departure of Miguel Vázquez they would stay without changes to relieve the concussed Sebastián Cáceres and they made Vázquez return to the playing field when he had already left it.

That fact gave rise to Pumas’ protest, but neither team remembered that in the case of the concussion protocol there is the option of a blue change and the entry of another player for whom he had to leave due to this contingency. and that is established in the substitution procedure in the rules of the game (rule 3-1, 3-2 and 3.3).
