Milner Ayala

Milner Ayala (3 September 1928 – 29 July 2001) was a Paraguayan footballer who played as a forward. He was part of Paraguay's squad that won the 1953 South American Championship.

International career Ayala was selected in Paraguay's squad for the 1953 South American Championship. He played two games during the tournament, on 4 March against Ecuador, and on 8 March against Peru, as Paraguay won the competition, its first Copa America.

Those two games were his only caps with Paraguay.

During the game against Peru, as Peruvians were leading by 2–1 and Paraguay was disallowed an equalizing goal, he kicked the referee. The game was stopped, then restarted. Paraguay eventually equalized and the game ended in a draw 2–2. However Peru was awarded a win because Paraguay made four changes instead of the legal three, including the one of Ayala who had replaced Atilio López. Ayala was banned three years for his gesture.
