In 2015 Joyce played in the darkest chapter of his career: he attacked Ramón Blanco for what he thought was a poorly sanctioned penalty. Every detail in this note.
One of the most unfortunate episodes in Peruvian football happened in 2015: a player hit a referee on a pitch. It happened on Sunday, September 6, 2015 at the Second Division date. The faces could be seen at the Juan Maldonado Gamarra de Cutervo Stadium united merchants j Huaral Union. The match was played at one and a draw at 83′, Ramon Blanco —Match umpire—approved a penalty for the local team.
Blanco saw a clear move from Joyce Conde to Pablo Oré in the penalty area and didn’t hesitate to point to the white spot for the penalty. With the decision of the referee came the demands of the guest footballers. Suddenly, in the midst of the commotion, the head referee was slapped with his hand. The author of the slap was the author of the criminally sanctioned: Conde.

The referee reacted quickly and sent off the Pelican forward. The incident resulted in play being paralyzed for several minutes, only resuming at 93’+. Goal by Jorge Alejandro Molina and victory for the Águilas Cutervinas. The attack went around the world and grabbed the front pages of several sports newspapers, causing dismay and outrage.
What happened to Joyce Conde?
Conde’s expulsion had an immediate effect in Unión Hural. The forward has been separated from the Huaralino club, a decision welcomed by a large part of the footballing universe. However, the questionable came from the Professional Football Sports Association (ADFP): The striker has only been suspended for eight dates.
The Republic contacted Ramón Blanco to gather his impressions of the curious fact. “The penalty seemed very small to me. But when he (Conde) was playing for Alianza Universidad a few years later, he came up to me and apologized. We talked and everything stayed the same,” said the former referee.

Blanco singled out Conde’s Adel for admitting his mistake and apologizing to him. “You have to appreciate that and save from Conde: he realized his mistake. That’s football, that’s how it is,” he said.
