The severity of the comments could worsen the sanction that the AFA's Disciplinary Court will have to resolve in the coming days. The former Boca captain had already been cautioned at the end of the first half for vehemently protesting against the referee, in a very adverse night for his team and also for his individual performance, as he had previously been marked by an error on the play for River's first goal, scored by Facundo Colidio. In the same report, Zunino also recorded the expulsion of Francisco Bersce, Gustavo Costas's assistant coach, for insults towards the fourth official. Now, the AFA must evaluate the facts and define how many match suspensions the sanctioned players will receive after the Avellaneda classic. According to the referee's report, once the expulsion was sanctioned, Rojo confronted Zunino with a series of insults, including: "You're a son of a bitch. Who put you here? You're a disaster, the cunt of your mother, shitty coward".
