In another unfortunate incident of increasingly controversial Argentine football, referee Andrés Gariano threatened physical violence against Huracán's head coach, Frank Darío Kudelka, in the minutes after the 1-1 draw between Barracas Central and Huracán. In a match played at the Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia stadium, the home team had two penalties in their favor that were fraught with controversy. After goalkeeper Sebastián Meza saved the first one, defender Rodrigo Insua scored the second to equalize the game with 13 minutes left. The altercation occurred minutes after the final whistle, when a large group of players, assistants, and the 'Globo's' own coach approached the referee's position to question him. At that moment, the 64-year-old coach accused the referee of 'getting involved' with his family, to which Gariano responded in an unacceptable manner: 'We're going to talk, and I'm going to break everything you have,' in an aggressive tone that generated immediate condemnation from the team's representatives from Parque Patricios.
