What Baliño said about the penalty that he did not charge Boca

It was the great controversy of the date. The penalty was requested by the entire Bombonera, which at that point was on fire: players, coaching staff and fans. Also Hugo Ibarra at the post-match press conference. But Jorge Baliño considered that there was no offense by Jorge Carranza, the Instituto goalkeeper, on Miguel Merentiel, the Boca striker, in that controversial action produced already in the time added to the regulation and when the Xeneize was desperately looking for a tie. The referee, advised by the VAR, went to personally see the play on the monitor and, after reviewing it several times, decided that it was not a penalty.

“I did not take a penalty because Merentiel plays the ball free and the contact occurs later, when the ball was already leaving the field of play. Nothing prevents him from playing the ball”, clarified the match judge in statements to TyC Sports. After watching the play a thousand times, in fast, normal and slow motion, Baliño did not see that there was a foul and assured that the contact occurred after the striker’s intervention. Yes, the goalkeeper falls on the body of Merentiel, who had previously hit the ball without being able to control it. For the referee, there was no offense because the contact was after the former Defense and Justice touched the ball.

The controversy of the end in Boca – Instituto: was it a penalty against Merentiel?

The performance of the shortlist of referees was harshly questioned by Mundo Boca. Ibarra, after the game, said: “I don’t hear them asking about the play of the first goal (the one that Benedetto was disallowed), which was a goal; and neither about the penalty, which was a penalty. It took them about 10 minutes to resolve…”. The first reference has to do with the disallowed goal against Pipa Benedetto in the first half due to a very finite offside by Martín Payero in the previous action.
