2017 Copa Sudamericana: Luis Caballero's wild elbow to Amorebieta in Paraguay [VIDEO]

Miercoles 25 de Octubre del 2017

During the 20 minutes of the match, the forward from Nacional Paraguay attacked the Venezuelan defender in the Copa Sudamericana duel.

Terrible aggression in the match between Nacional and Independiente

It was a red card offense and not even consulted with VAR. The referee was just a few meters away from the action and ignored Luis Caballero's aggression against Fernando Amorebieta. The blood may be shocking, but the footage shows that it was a terrible aggression and Nacional from Paraguay should be playing with 10 men.

In the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Sudamericana, Caballero elbowed Fernando Amorebieta in a divided action. The blow was clear, there was no intention to play the ball around the 20th minute of the match held in Asunción.

Amorebieta could not continue in the match and had to be replaced by midfielder Nicolás Domingo. Independiente lost a key defender for the match and, moreover, minutes later, Caballero himself scored the equalizing goal for Nacional at that time.

Both journalists and users on social media were scandalized by the incident. Everything refers to the images and the fact that Amorebieta could not continue.

Later, the doctor from Independiente confirmed that the Venezuelan has a fracture, so he had to be taken to the nearest clinic. Amorebieta awaits a few days off.
