Franco Suárez now faces a minor offense case and could be banned from all football stadiums in Argentina. The incident occurred on Monday during the match corresponding to the penultimate matchday of Group B of the Clausura tournament, when forward Marcelo Torres scored to make it 1-0 for Gimnasia against Vélez in the 33rd minute of the first half. At that moment, Suárez threw a safety hammer that impacted the pitch and then brushed referee Yael Falcón Pérez's face, forcing the match to be interrupted. After confirming that the main referee was not injured, the match continued and ended with a 2-0 victory for 'Lobo'. The Agency for the Prevention of Violence in Sports (Aprevide) will not sanction Gimnasia La Plata for the aggression with a safety hammer that referee Yael Falcón Pérez suffered in Monday's match against Vélez at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo stadium. The argument used by the body is that the aggressor was quickly identified, which allowed the right of admission to be applied individually and not extend the responsibility to the club. Thanks to the security camera system at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo stadium, the fan was identified as Franco Suárez, who, at the time of his arrest, had a flare among his belongings, which aggravated his judicial situation.
