Palacios played as Vélez sought Boca's elimination from Copa Argentina over foreign-player limit

The Copa Argentina moved from the pitch to the administrative offices after Vélez Sarsfield challenged Boca Juniors' qualification.

Vélez alleges that Boca listed six foreign players, one more than the permitted five. The names on the sheet were goalkeeper Álvaro Montero of Colombia, Leandro Lozano of Uruguay, Sebastián Villa of Colombia, and substitutes Enner Valencia of Ecuador, Ángel Romero of Paraguay and Carlos Palacios of Chile.

Palacios came on and scored the decisive penalty that sent Boca into the quarterfinals. Vélez's complaint therefore focuses on a player who directly influenced the outcome, although the club's case concerns the official match sheet and registration records rather than the penalty itself.

The club said it had asked for the lineup to be declared invalid and for its own qualification to be recognized. Vélez cited the official match sheet and the AFA's COMET system as the basis for its request. The source text cuts off before the club's statement is completed.

requested that the invalid lineup be declared established and, consequently, that our institution's qualification be recognized
