Ecuadorian forward for Flamengo, Gonzalo Plata, was sent off for an aggression on defender Marcos Rojo in the match against Racing, valid for the second leg of the Copa Libertadores semifinals.
At the 11th minute of the second half, referee Piero Maza Gomez, at the behest of VAR, showed the attacker a red card for a supposed off-the-ball hit on the former Boca player and left Mengao with ten footballers on the field of the Cilindro de Avellaneda.
At the 30', the official in charge of justice ejected Rojo himself for an alleged elbow on Léo Ortiz.
However, again with the assistance of technology, the main referee reversed his decision and allowed the 35-year-old central defender to remain on the pitch.
