America lost the lead of the tournament with the determination of the Commission, as the official result will be 3-0 in favor of the rojinegros
The Mexican Football Association’s Disciplinary Commission has decided that América will lose all three points in the game against Atlas due to misalignment.
Club América will be penalized for the loss of the match played against Club Atlas, which corresponds to Day 7 of the Guard1anes Clausura 2021 tournament, therefore the result of that match will be changed and it should be 3-0 in favor of Club Atlas “Informed the disciplinary committee.
America loses the bet at the table, despite winning on the court, because Federico Viñas was sitting on the bench despite not being registered prior to the start of the bet.
“The player Federico Viñas took part every time he did warm-up exercises and sat on the bench as a substitute, along with the rest of his teammates, a situation reported in the referee’s report,” the Disciplinary Committee analyzed.
“The player Federico Viñas was not on the line-up form”, the FMF authority explains.
With this, the Eagles are guilty of an “unnecessary alienation” and therefore the 3-0 victory is awarded to Atlas, despite the fact that Santiago Solari’s América had won 2-0 on the track.
“Club América is considered guilty of violating article 27 subsection a) of the Sanctions Regulations, on account of an incorrect line-up during the game against Club Atlas, which corresponds to Day 7 of the Guard1anes Clausura tournament in 2021”.
According to the statement of the Disciplinary Commission, the referees and the game commissioner were not penalized, although it was their responsibility that there was no player on the bench other than those registered by the clubs.
With the decision, America loses the lead of the league and drops to third position in the table.
