All Boys 0–0 Godoy Cruz after pre-match clashes, disputed penalty

Violence erupted outside All Boys' Estadio Islas Malvinas in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Floresta on October 12, 2026, shortly before kickoff of a Primera Nacional match against Godoy Cruz. Security personnel denied entry to two individuals: one with a child support debt and another subject to an admission ban under Argentine law. When one of the barred individuals attempted to resist entry, confrontation escalated between supporters and police, spreading across nearby streets including Avenida Jonte and Calle Chivilcoy.

Police deployed rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse crowds. Supporters responded by throwing stones and other objects at officers. The clashes lasted approximately 30 minutes, resulting in eight arrests and minor injuries to two police officers. The match was delayed by 30 minutes, finally starting at 19:30 (7:30 p.m.). Inside the stadium, supporters expressed anger over the police response through chants.

The match itself became marked by controversial officiating. In the 68th minute, Godoy Cruz striker Martín Pino missed a penalty kick. Late in the second half, with fewer than two minutes remaining, referee Nicolás Lamolina initially awarded a second penalty to Godoy Cruz for a tackle by All Boys defender Iván Zafarana, simultaneously issuing a red card to Zafarana. All Boys players immediately protested, arguing the infraction occurred outside the penalty area. After more than 20 minutes of sustained protests—during which players showed the referee video footage on a mobile phone—Lamolina reversed his decision and awarded a free kick instead.

The reversal prompted immediate protests from Godoy Cruz players. The match remained deadlocked at 0–0, with All Boys playing the final minutes down to ten men following Zafarana's expulsion and a second red card to teammate Nardozza. At the final whistle, the 0–0 draw left All Boys in 16th place with 34 points, two points above relegation-zone rivals Acassuso and San Miguel. Godoy Cruz remained in third place with 57 points.
