Through a statement, the LMBPF reported that “the sanctions corresponding to the unsportsmanlike events that occurred in the game between Avispas de Chilpancingo and Quetzales Sajoma, on March 24 of the current year, in the SUSPEG gym in Chilpancingo; They have already been delivered to the Presidents of their respective clubs,” the league said in a statement.
The fight occurred during the quarterfinal match. In a video broadcast on social networks, you can see how Morales throws a blow with his hand to the face of a member of Waspas de Chilpancingo, this after a score.
