Racing Club striker Adrián ‘Maravilla’ Martínez has faced disciplinary sanctions following incidents involving elbow strikes on opponents. Initially, Martínez was handed a two-match suspension for an elbow during a quarter-final match in the Apertura tournament, which rendered him unavailable for a fixture against Rosario Central. In a subsequent incident during a match against Argentinos Juniors, Martínez received a direct red card for an elbow strike on Kevin Gutiérrez. While the Disciplinary Tribunal initially set a three-match penalty due to the injury sustained by the opponent, the club filed an appeal to reduce the sanction to two matches. As a result of the successful appeal, Martínez is serving a two-match suspension, making him was unavailable for the upcoming derby against Boca Juniors in Avellaneda.
