Controversy was present in the draw between Defensa y Justicia and Central Córdoba, held in Florencio Varela, when referee Bryan Ferreyra awarded a penalty to the visitors for a supposed foul by Emiliano Amor on Michael Santos. The action led to the 'Railwayman's' equalizer through the former Vélez striker himself and sparked the anger of 'Hawk's' coach Mariano Soso, who confronted the main referee in the tunnel, according to the Noticias Argentinas agency. In the 27th minute of the second half, a long ball fell to Santos, who was heading towards the goal defended by Cristopher Fiermarin at speed, when he was crossed by Amor and lost the ball, despite throwing himself to the ground. A moment later - the ball took almost a minute to leave the field of play - the VAR, led by Gastón Monzón Brizuela, called Ferreyra to review a supposed contact on the player from the Santiago del Estero team. After a long review, the official in charge of justice gave his final verdict: the Defensa y Justicia defender committed a foul on Santos, so he awarded a penalty to the visitors.
