Menéndez had a strong influence in Cordobese football, with some pointing him as trying to favor Talleres in the finals As the Estadio Olímpico was not yet finished (it was being refurbished for the 1978 World Cup), Talleres played their home games at its ground in the Barrio Jardín Espinosa neighborhood, in the southeast of the city. The province (and the whole country) was ruled with an iron fist by the military dictatorship, whose most prominent figure was general Luciano Benjamín Menéndez. The rumors circulating in Córdoba were simple and unequivocal. The military leaders wanted to "give the people of Córdoba some joy." Talleres had caused a football revolution in the province when it began to compete in the national tournaments of 1974, 1975, and 1976, and it seemed that their time to become champions had finally arrived. In 2021, journalist Ernesto Cherquis Bialo revealed that then president of AFA Julio Grondona had warned Indpendiente manager José Pastoriza about referee Roberto Barreiro's performances refereeing Talleres de Córdoba, stating that the Cordobese team had never lost in six matches refereed by him. Grondona also told Pastoriza that Barreiro had sent off four Talleres rivals in four matches, as well as awarding Talleres a penalty kick in four out of six matches. Grondona also highlighted the high influence of general Menéndez over Cordobese football and his increasing pressure for Talleres to win a championship.Historia secreta de la noche más épica del fútbol argentino by Ernesto Cherquis Bialo on infobae.com. 24 Jan 2021 I need you to talk to the players so we start with eleven and finish with eleven, nothing more Julio Grondona to José Pastoriza some days before the finals thumb|150px|Referee Roberto Barreiro had had a controversial performance in the Platense v Lanús relegation match played two months before the finals 1977 had not been a good year for Roberto Barreiro, the experienced referee chosen to officate the final. He had officiated the relegation playoff in November of that year, when Platense played against Lanús in a full-attendance San Lorenzo Stadium. Barreiro violated the rules of the time, allowing penalties to continue at the same goal after the first series of five shots ended in a draw. Furthermore, he failed to notice that a Platense player —goalkeeper Osmar Miguelucci— and a Lanús midfielder —Julio Crespo— had not taken their penalties, allowing Miguel Juárez and Orlando Cárdenas to take them a second time in their place, something that was not permitted until the entire team had taken their penalty.La verdadera historia de la noche de los penales by Marcelo Calvente on lastimaanadiemaestro.com. 18 Jun 2020 That match, known as "the night of the penalties" or "the most dramatic night in Argentine football",1977.

As the referee keep on his decission, winger Ricardo Cherini equalised the match. In the 70th minute, Talleres' Ángel Bocanelli apparently touched the ball with his hand before scoring the 2–1 for his team. However, the foul by the Talleres striker was clearly visible on the national television broadcast on Canal 7. As the Independiente players loudly claimed the referee to invalidate the goal, Barreiro sent off Rubén Galván, Omar Larrosa, and Enzo Trossero (in that order), abruptly leaving the visiting team with three players less on the field.Hoy te convertís en héroe #2: Ricardo Bochini vs. Talleres on El Gráfico. 22 Apr 2015 Independiente players decided to leave the field in protest,Hazaña al rojo vivo by Carlos Viacava on laprensa.com.ar. 8 Apr 2020 but manager José Pastoriza insisted on remaining on the pitch to continue the game. Pastoriza also made two substitutions (Mariano Biondi and Daniel Bertoni entered the field) to revert the situation. In the 83th minute, Pagnanini passed to Bochini in the midfield zone, Bochini dribbled an opponent before a short pass to Bertoni, who quickly passed the ball to Biondi, he dribbled goalkeeper Guidbaudo before passing to Bochini, who came running. The number 10 shot to score the 2nd goal for his team. After equalising, Independiente retreated to their own goal while Talleres bombarded them with shots, but couldn't find the net for a third goal.

Independiente players that had been sent off were severely punished: Enzo Trossero was suspended for 12 matches, while Rubén Galván y Omar Larrosa received less, with 6 matches each. As all of them were then called up by César Menotti to play for Argentina during the team's preparation for the 1978 FIFA World Cup, they served their time off the pitch while training with the national team. Referee Roberto Barreiro continued active for one season more, then retiring from football.La epopeya de Independiente en Córdoba by Alejandro Fabbri on his website A referee can't make that many mistakes. In that play, when the cross came in, Outes jumped with Boccanelli, and when he saw he wasn't going to reach it, the Talleres player punched the ball. Referee Barreiro was facing the action, so I don't understand how he allowed the goal... Independiente goalkeeper Roberto Rigante in an interview with Clarín, 27 Feb 1978 I was very nervous after such an injustice and wanted to leave the field. Pastoriza convinced us to keep going and we were able to tie it with three men down Ricardo Bochini Independiente owes that title to Pastoriza. He told his players: "Go out and play, be men and win the title" Talleres defender Miguel Oviedo, who was injured and could not play References Category:1978 in South American football leagues Category:1978 in Argentine football Category:Club Atlético Independiente matches Category:Talleres de Córdoba matches Category:January 1978 sports events in South America Category:Football competitions in Avellaneda Category:Football competitions in Córdoba Province, Argentina
