Referee Report Details Marcos Rojo’s Abuse After VAR Red in RacingRiver Clásico

The detailed match report raises the likelihood of a multi-game suspension.

Overview

  • Rojo was sent off for violent conduct after an off-the-ball punch to Lucas Martínez Quarta that the video assistant referee (VAR) confirmed on review.
  • The official act filed by referee Sebastián Zunino quotes a stream of profanities Rojo shouted at him after the red card.
  • Zunino’s report states Rojo had already been booked earlier for dissent, a factor that can weigh against him in discipline hearings.
  • The document also records the expulsion of a Racing coaching staff member for insulting the fourth official, underscoring the tense touchline scene.
  • The AFA Disciplinary Tribunal will set the ban next, and the combination of a violent act and verbal abuse could keep the veteran defender out for several matches.
