The Aguilas of America were saved from losing on the table with a score of 3-0 due to improper alignment in the second half of the game against the Pumas of UNAM when considering the Disciplinary Commission that no a flagrant irregularity was committed and that the sanction was only a financial contribution.

This determination generated and raised too much dust when considering the public opinion that was favored to America due to their political ties and their power in Mexican football, but in the end it was all due to the regulations and established that contemplates these eventualities when the defense Miguel Vázquez was relieved in the 60th minute by Thiago Espinosa, who finally relieved the Uruguayan Sebastián Cáceres, involved in the concussion protocol.

The root of this imbroglio was due to the UNAM Pumas presenting a disagreement in which it was clear that Vázquez was going to be relieved by Thiago Espinoza and that even the cremas defender had already left donated the playing field and it was returned so that the relieved player was the charrúa Cáceres when the regulations consider, in case of a case of concussion or force majeure, the blue substitution, which is an extra modification.

In their claim, the full responsibility was of the whistler Luis Enrique Santander and his assistants Michel Espinoza and Enrique Bustos, as well as the fourth official Maximiliano Quintero, who did not carry out the substitutions protocol in a form.

The Commission of Referees detected an omission at the time of making the changes, which does not correspond to the supposed normative of the improper alignment provided for in Article 26 of the Competition Regulations of the MX League. 

For such omission, America became a fine by the Commission of Referees for not respecting the number of opportunities or times of substitutions planned. 

In the case of the arbitral body, which was led by Luis Enrique Santander, the Commission of Arbitrators of the FMF will study the case and determine the responsibility they had, but really or more scandal due to the pumas board's own ignorance of the substitutions regulations and what the concussion protocol that the Cáceres defense of America suffered implied.

Within this regulatory imbroglio, a lot more noise was made because André Jardine's own assistants in America, like his compatriot Paulo Rodrigues and Phelipe Leal, inter They claimed that with the departure of Miguel Vázquez they would remain unchanged to relieve the shocked Sebastián Cáceres and they made Vázquez return to the playing field when he had already abandoned him.

That fact led to the protest of Pumas, but neither of the two teams remembered that in case of the shock protocol exists the option of the blue change and that it enters or another player who had to leave due to this contingency and which is established in the substitution procedure in the game rules (rule 3-1, 3-2 and 3.3).
