The Disciplinary Committee of the championship announced this Friday the punishment for the Atlético Nacional goalkeepers, the Paraguayan Santiago Rojas, and Millonarios, Álvaro Montero.
The two goalkeepers ended up being sent off on Sunday, in the match that Millos won 0-1 against Nacional, with a goal from Leonardo Castro.
In the 85th minute, referee Nolberto Ararat showed the red card to the two goalkeepers, after Rojas pushed an opponent after a foul in favor of his team.
There a brawl broke out in which players from both teams participated, in which Montero also got in badly and ended up necking Rojas.

The Disciplinary Committee decided to impose equal punishments on the two goalkeepers: three game suspension and a fine of 650 thousand pesos; in both cases, for “Being guilty of violent conduct without the ball being in play.”
Both Rojas and Montero paid their first suspension date this Friday: Diego Novoa occupied the blue goal in the defeat against Águilas Doradas and Harlen Castillo started in the game against Deportivo Cali.

Montero will miss the games against Patriotas, on February 24, and Once Caldas, three days later.
