Overview
- The audio covers a 17th‑minute shot by Fausto Vera that struck Gastón Campi’s right hand in the box with no penalty awarded by referee Nicolás Ramírez.
- VAR concluded Campi’s arm was tucked to his body with his body behind the line of the ball, so the handball did not meet the threshold for a foul.
- In the exchange, Ramírez asked where the ball hit, and VAR lead Héctor Paletta, with AVAR Jorge Broggi, replied that it hit the hand but was not penal due to body position.
- The decision upheld the on‑field call after an offside check, and River went on to win 1–0 away in the Apertura opener.
- The release renews a transparency practice that saw 40 audios published in 2023 and 54 in 2024 before falling to 11 in 2025 under technical chief Fernando Rapallini, on a matchday that featured other disputed incidents.
