As revealed by Infobae: "The Disciplinary Commission decided to impose a two-match suspension for infractions linked to article 13 of the Disciplinary Code of that body based in Switzerland. At the same time, he must face a financial fine of 15 thousand Swiss francs (around of 18 thousand dollars).

Emiliano Martínez, the Argentine goalkeeper renowned for his exceptional saves and on-field antics, found himself at the center of a controversy during the recent World Cup qualifiers match between Colombia and Argentina. The incident, involving an altercation with a cameraman, has sparked widespread debate and scrutiny of the goalkeeper's behavior.

During the aftermath of Argentina's 2-1 defeat to Colombia, Martínez was captured on camera striking a cameraman who was attempting to capture his reaction. The incident was met with swift condemnation from football fans, pundits, and sports organizations alike. Many criticized Martínez's behavior as unprofessional and unsportsmanlike, arguing that such actions have no place in the beautiful game.

The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has since issued a statement expressing their disappointment in Martínez's actions and promising to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter. While Martínez has yet to publicly apologize for the incident, the AFA's statement suggests that some form of disciplinary action may be forthcoming.

This is not the first time Martínez has been involved in a controversial incident. During the Copa America celebrations, he was criticized for his inappropriate gestures with the trophy, which many viewed as disrespectful to his opponents. These recurring incidents have led some to question Martínez's maturity and his ability to control his emotions on the pitch.

While MartInez is undoubtedly a talented goalkeeper and has made significant contributions to the Argentine national team, his recent behavior has raised concerns about his suitability as a role model for young footballers. It is essential for professional athletes to conduct themselves with respect both on and off the field.

The incident serves as a reminder that even the most talented athletes are not immune to making mistakes. It is up to Martinez to learn from this experience and demonstrate that he is capable of growing as a person and as a player. The football community will be watching closely to see how he responds to this latest controversy.
