Newells still lost two points in AFA

Newell received another bad news: the Court of Appeal retained two other points. The penalty concerns the filing of a false affidavit in August 2017.

Thus, the court formulated the complaint presented by Lanús and decided to ratify in all conditions the decision rendered on November 24, 2017 by the disciplinary tribunal of AFA, which provided for the removal of three points in Newell.

A story of several chapters full of incoherence, like almost everything in Argentine football, which closes in the worst way for the Independencia Park club.

The most unusual thing is that on August 7, the same Court of Appeal had decided to return two of these three points to Newell. Now he was retracing his steps: he canceled his own failure and applied the three-point clearance.

This new resolution perished sensibly in the red and black team. He will lose two other important points in the fight for the averages (there remain 88 on the general table) and the sporting merit stipulated by Superliga: on 13 073 028 million pesos, with this failure it will receive 11 984 .609 which correspond to the television rights.
