The Argentine midfielder from Monterrey, Matías Kranevitter was suspended for two games after the Disciplinary Commission of the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) verify the unsportsmanlike action he had against Tigres striker, Yeferson Soteldo .
Kranevitter hit Soteldo in the back of the head and sent him straight to the grass. However, at that moment the main referee decided not to call the foul, and for that reason the Tigres filed a complaint with the FMF.
” Player Claudio Matías Kranevitter is sanctioned with two games of suspension and with an economic fine , for having transgressed the provisions of articles 5, 17, subsection e) of the FMF Sanctions Regulations, in force for the Season 2021-2022″, cites the statement from the Disciplinary Commission.
It is worth noting that after the events recorded in the royal classic, Kranevitter accepted his mistake and apologized for what happened, but evidently that did not prevent him from ending up sanctioned and missing the next two games.
The images of Kranevitter’s aggression against Soteldo in a play generated in the second half of the game were captured on social networks, in the that the Venezuelan had a dangerous opportunity and the Argentine approached him from behind to attack him.
The videos show how the Monterrey midfielder waits for Soteldo to release the ball that Gignac had passed him to hit him in the neck with his left arm, leaving him lying on the grass.
Although the main judge was a few meters from the scene, he did not whistle a foul. The fourth referee did not report the unsportsmanlike action either, and those in charge of the VAR did not warn about it either, a situation that generated disagreement in the feline club.
