Enzo Pérez’s Gesture After the Goal Disallowed Against Estudiantes

Enzo Pérez ‘s gesture during the match between Estudiantes and Boca Juniors , which ended in a 1-1 draw, generated controversy among the xeneize players . Although the goal by Pincha that sparked the controversy was finally disallowed for offside, the celebration of the former River Plate midfielder, symbolizing the act of rocking a baby, did not go unnoticed and infuriated several rival players. However, there was an explanation behind it.

The incident occurred at the close of Matchday 12 of the Professional Football League. The match was held at the UNO Jorge Luis Hirschi stadium in La Plata, in a complicated context for Boca Juniors , who had just suffered elimination in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana against Cruzeiro of Brazil. The attitude of Enzo Pérez, well known for his fanaticism with River Plate , generated an angry response from some Boca players. The cameras of the television broadcast captured the moment when Boca Juniors full-back Luis Advíncula argued vehemently with Enzo Pérez after his controversial attitude.

The midfielder wanted to clarify that his gesture was dedicated to his relatives who were in the stands, the fact that first it was the goalkeeper Matías Mansilla who made the celebration and pointed at Enzo Pérez , caused the anger of the Boca Juniors players who understood that he was making fun of them for the last matches in which the Pincha ended up staying with the victory against the Xeneize cast . Through social networks, as the hours went by, the truth was known and the controversy dissipated somewhat because it was confirmed that the dedication was for his sister, who has just become a mother.

Enzo himself shared a story on his Instagram account in which he appears with his sister Tati and the two little girls he has: “I love you sister!!”. In the image, the experienced 38-year-old footballer is still wearing his Estudiantes training uniform. In addition, his wife had also shared two videos in which the former millionaire appeared with the newborn.

Throughout the match, Boca Juniors failed to capitalize on the advantage they had gained against Estudiantes de La Plata . The final draw, in a match that promised to be an opportunity for redemption for the Xeneize, left fans, players and coaching staff with a bitter taste, especially due to the controversy of the final moments.
