Maravilla Martínez sent off for elbow in match against Racing
The forward was sent off after an elbow to Kevin Gutiérrez, casting doubt on his participation in the classic against Boca.
In the match between Racing and Argentinos, forward Maravilla Martínez received a straight red card after elbowing Kevin Gutiérrez. The incident occurred 20 minutes into the game and was reviewed by VAR, leading the referee to decide to expel the player from the Academy.
Martínez's expulsion could have further consequences. According to reports, the Disciplinary Tribunal will assess not only this infraction but also the player's recent history, which could result in a more severe punishment.
If a second sanction is imposed, Martínez would miss the classic against Boca Juniors scheduled for August 23 at the Cilindro, a match of significant importance for the club and its fans.
