Jefferson Gómez, in the eye of the hurricane for attacking a linesman

He was not on the pitch to help his side, but did have a controversial moment after the game in which Bucaramanga lost 1-0 to Atlético Nacional at the stadium of Alfonso López last Wednesday.

Central defender Jefferson Gómez is in the eye of the hurricane for attacking linesman Alexánder Guzmán, who had to be taken to a hospital in the capital Santander for treatment.

According to the Vanguardia newspaper, the football player, who was dressed in civilian clothes, because he was injured and unable to play, approached the refereeing body and attacked them. Out of nowhere, he punched Guzmán in the face, who was injured by the blow and had to be taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he was cured.

To assist the referee, the presence of the Red Cross was necessary, which was responsible for helping and caring for him due to the large amount of blood that came out of the wound.

After all that had happened, the linesman filed a criminal complaint for personal injury against player Jefferson Gómez, for the assault he allegedly inflicted on him in the locker rooms when the match ended.

Similarly, the match chief referee Nicolás Gallo is also said to have sent his report to the Major Division of Colombian Soccer on what happened in the tunnels after the match between Bucaramanga and Nacional.

The Barranquilla defender, who went through Junior, could face a drastic sanction that would last between one and two years without being able to play. Also a heavy financial fine.
