Why doesn’t Darío Benedetto play against Atlético Tucumán for the first date of the Binance Tournament of the Argentine Professional League 2023

Mouth The defense of the double crown achieved in 2022 begins, when it first won the Cup and then the Professional League tournament. The story in the Binance Tournament 2023 starts earlier at La Bombonera Atletico Tucuman, one of the great animators who had the last edition of the contest. And the debut of Hugo Ibarra’s team will have a big absence beforehand.

WHY DON’T DARIO BENEDETTO PLAY?

The Pipe was the most affected by the sanctions following the scandalous Champions Trophy final against Racing. After Carlos Alcaraz’s goal that made it 2-1 in extra time, the 9 started to become clear gesturing with the fist of one hand and the palm of the otherindicating that the arbitration has been “bought” for the Academy.

For this reason, he was the only one to receive four suspension dates and was not hit by the “amnesty”. A few days before the start of the tournament, the Disciplinary Court accepted the request of the LPF to annul the sanctions against the football players who dragged one from the last date of the last championship, played on October 23.

However, the AFA ruling made that clear suspensions of up to three days would be forgiven and for this reason it has not turned on Pipa, who can only debut on the fifth date, when Boca visits Vélez.
