Gustavo Vivanco, head of team at FBC Melgar, said that the aggression of Ricardo Ortega, assistant coach of Juan Reynoso, to Eduardo Rabanal occurred because, according to him, the player from the opposing team was the one who first attacked his colleagues.

"I see that Ameli moves from his technical area to Reynoso's in an aggressive manner, as if to say something or act in a disruptive way. He is intercepted by Ricardo Ortega, who was totally distracted, conciliatory, and even had a folder in his hand. If Ameli had left calmly, nothing would have happened. However, at Melgar, we reject that attitude from Ortega. We have an internal regulation that we will apply. However, prior to the headbutt that Eduardo Rabanal receives from Ortega, he also elbows and kicks Ortega, which caused him an ankle contusion. Definitely, it is a case that cannot be defended, but Ortega was not predisposed to perform that action," said the member of the technical command of FBC Melgar.
