AFA Tribunal Set To Rule Today On Suspended GimnasiaMadryn Match

Deportivo Madryn says it will accept the verdict but will not return to Jujuy to complete the second half.

Overview

  • The match was halted at halftime with Gimnasia de Jujuy leading 1-0 after the referee reported an alleged threat from a Gimnasia official.
  • Both clubs submitted formal filings, with Gimnasia denying the referee’s account and proposing to resume in Jujuy behind closed doors, at a neutral venue in Buenos Aires, or by replaying the game.
  • Deportivo Madryn insists the players were not responsible and says it wanted to continue, pointing to a prior March sanction for threats as precedent.
  • Club president Ricardo Sastre reiterated they will respect the disciplinary decision but will not travel back to Jujuy to play the remaining 45 minutes.
  • The AFA disciplinary body can order a restart, award the result, or apply sanctions, and local reports say a decision is expected later today.
