The Peruvian second division witnessed a shocking incident that has sparked outrage. The match between Atlético Sienciano and Alianza Huánuco saw a dangerous injury that left everyone deeply concerned. What made the scene even more astonishing was the referee’s decision to only issue a yellow card to the offending player.

During the match, one of the most violent clashes of the season in global football occurred. Yorleys Mena, a player from the visiting team, elbowed Danilo Ortiz in the face with full force during an aerial duel.

Television images of the injured player horrified everyone watching. Ortiz, lying motionless on the ground with a shocked expression, was seen bleeding from his mouth.

When medical staff escorted him off the pitch, it became clear that Ortiz had suffered three broken teeth and a severely fractured jaw.

What left the home team’s players and spectators stunned and furious was the referee’s decision. He approached the offending player and showed only a yellow card. Peruvian media are heavily criticizing the referee, demanding that the Peruvian judiciary summon him to explain how a player who nearly killed his opponent received only a yellow card.
