Rodrigo Amaral of The Strongest may be suspended from six months to one calendar year.

 The report of the referee Juan Nelio García, who officiated the clásico paceño, states that he sent him off for assaulting the second assistant linesman.

Rodrigo Amaral, who has become The Strongest's most important reinforcement so far this season, being a key player in both the Apertura Professional Division tournament and Copa Libertadores matches, is at risk of suffering a harsh sanction.

The Uruguayan midfielder was sent off in the clásico paceño, according to the report of the referee Juan Nelio García, who reported that the player assaulted the second line assistant (Edwin Paredes).

The aggression allegedly took place after Bolívar's 1-0 win over The Strongest on Monday night at the Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz.

According to the Disciplinary Code of the Bolivian Football Federation (FBF), article 73, on aggressions to match officials, states: "The player who was expelled from the field of play for actually and by any means assaulting the match officials will be sanctioned with a suspension of six (6) months to one (1) calendar year provided that the act did not cause physical harm or impediment to the affected player.

Said article adds that "if the aggression causes serious physical harm and impediment to the victim, the sanction shall be increased to two (2) calendar years. If the aggression causes very serious physical harm and impediment to the victim or consists of repeated blows with fists, kicks, headbutts or the use of any instrument, the sanction will be definitive.

In the images of the Tigo Sports broadcast, it can be seen that Amaral first gave a push from behind to the fourth official and then another push from the front, after which he approached and confronted the assistant referee.

At the moment of leaving the melee, the Uruguayan also makes gestures as if to imply that he ran money in the classic.

Article 73 also clarifies other points regarding aggressions against soccer match officials: "These sanctions shall also apply to aggressions made outside the field of play, at halftime or at the conclusion of a soccer match, without the aggressor's expulsion being necessary for this purpose. Attempted or unsuccessful aggression shall be punished with a one to three month suspension".
