In the middle of the match between Uruguay and Chile for the third date of the group stage of the Copa America, a man surprised at 27 minutes of the second half and invaded the playing field with a hen mask and an Argentine flag hung like a superhero cape. When the youngman entered the field of play, all the players stood still except one, the Chilean Gonzalo Jara, who had an unusual reaction: he kicked him before the fan was stopped by security personnel.
That situation immediately aroused the reaction of Luis Suarez, who demanded that the Brazilian referee Raphael Claus sanction his rival, what does the regulation say?
According to Article 12 of the Conmebol Disciplinary Regulations, there is a “suspension of at least one match in the competition or for a specific period of time” for “insulting, offending or threatening players or other persons present in the match”. The referee didn’t show Jara any cards. Will Conmebol sanction him of his own trade?
An old acquaintance of scandal
Gonzalo Jara was also the protagonist in a controversial action that happened in 2015, when the Chilean touched the tail of the Uruguayan Edinson Cavani, who reacted and ended up expelled.
