The decision on disqualification of the player was made by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.

Argentina lost that game with a score of 0: 1.
As reports L’équipe, The Committee identified a sentence in the form of one disqualification game. This means that Otamendi will miss the next official match of its national team, which will be the starting match of the group stage of the world championship.
Thus, the Argentina national team, which will protect the status of the world champion, in theory had to increase the chances of the successful start of the future mundial.
