Overview
- Referee Lucas Comesaña halted the quarterfinal first leg at halftime in Jujuy after reporting threats to the officiating team, with Gimnasia leading 1-0.
- Gimnasia filed its formal descargo proposing three paths: finish the match behind closed doors in Jujuy at the club’s expense, complete the minutes in Buenos Aires without fans, or replay the game at a neutral venue.
- The Tribunal had been expected to issue a decision on Thursday but will now publish its ruling next week, citing the need to review submissions before impacting the Reducido schedule.
- An AFA disciplinary bulletin recorded a one‑match ban for Gimnasia’s Matías Noble, multi‑match suspensions for two ball boys, and granted Deportivo Madryn 48 hours to respond.
- Club leaders disputed the referee’s account, Comesaña rejected circulating claims about xenophobic insults, and Gimnasia’s squad returned to training while awaiting the verdict.
