The Boca defender had criticized his teammate but a few minutes later he went viral when he saw the red card against San Lorenzo.
The debut for Jorge Almiron in the bank of Boca it was not easy. start visiting Saint Lawrence it was not an easy task. Less if Bruno Valdez is injured before 10 minutes and from that play comes the rival’s goal, against. The first half was difficult for Xeneize and Agustín Sandez was close to crowning it with a red card.
When the second minute added by the referee was being played, the left back kicked Agustín Giay to cut a contra. Yes ok he didn’t hit him, the referee Facundo Tello decided to show him the red card. Later, the VAR called him and, upon reviewing the play, he changed his mind. She canceled the red one and put a yellow one on it.
Later, the broadcast showed a moment where Figal approaches Facundo Roncaglia and Luis Advíncula to tell them that Sandez “is green”.
The central defender had already been upset with the team after his debut in the Libertadores, when the team ended up with 9 players and he made a strong self-criticism by assuring that “we cannot make these mistakes.”
Figal’s annoyance with Sandez for the reckless play seemed understandable and within what is known as part of the soccer environment. For the second half of the classic, DT Almirón decided to remove Sandez and Juan Ramírez entered in his place.
But Figal’s “is a green” ended up going against him. It is that in the complement, with Boca going to look for the tie, Figal miscalculated and it went dangerously for Vombergar. Tello, who had already admonished him for protesting, showed him the yellow cardboard again and the consequent red one that marked his exit to the showers.
Figal’s boomerang, from complaining about Sandez’s recklessness to ending up being him making the mistake he had questioned. Very green.
