The goalkeeper of San Martín de Burzaco, Gonzalo Rehak, suffered a severe injury in the match last Saturday against Excursionistas for the fourteenth round of the Primera B Metropolitana (third division Argentina) and will need to undergo surgery.
When the clock marked 26 minutes of the second half and with the match tied at zero, the striker of 'Excursio' Franco Sosa was one-on-one against the goalkeeper who emerged from Independiente, and in an unfortunate action, the attacker stepped on the goalkeeper's forearm and left him lying on the ground. However, referee Nicolás Mastroeieni, supported by assistant Damián Orellana, sanctioned the penalty in favor of Juan Carlos Kopriva's team and cautioned the goalkeeper. Juan Zárate was in charge of taking the shot from twelve steps and scored the only goal of the match.
Meanwhile, the 31-year-old goalkeeper will have to go under the knife, and the coaching staff of the 'Azul' estimates that the recovery of the player could take between 3 and 6 months.
