Milner Ayala (3 September 1928 – 29 July 2001) was a Paraguayan footballer.[1] He was part of Paraguay's squad that won the 1953 South American Championship.[2]
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,[3] and on 8 March against Peru,[4] as Paraguay won the competition, its first Copa America.
Those two games were his only caps with Paraguay.[5]
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.[2][6][7]
