Boca's victory over Vélez in the round of 16 of the Copa Argentina may not have yet determined the qualifier. "Fortín" has begun to analyze a formal complaint regarding the presence of six foreign players in the squad of the team led by Rodolfo Arruabarrena during the match held at the Kempes stadium.
The players included were Álvaro Montero, Leandro Lozano, Sebastián Villa, Carlos Palacios, Enner Valencia, and Ángel Romero. Montero, Lozano, and Villa started as starters, while Valencia and Palacios came on in the second half. Romero was on the bench and did not play any minutes.
The official record of the Copa Argentina confirms that all six players were part of the call-up, although only five participated in the match.
What the regulations say about the foreign player quota
Vélez's complaint is based on a regulatory issue. Article 31 of the foreign player quota in the First Division regulations states that clubs can have up to six registered foreign players, but sets the number allowed to sign the match sheet at five.
