There was a lot of annoyance in the Chilean team with Paraguayan referee Éber Aquino. The judge did not see a clear hand from Sebastián Coates in the Uruguayan area, when discounts were played. It was a penalty and the option for La Roja to get up on the scoreboard. The Guaraní did not even go to the VAR screen to review the play. Minutes later, Maxi Gómez would score the final 2-1 for Celeste.
The bitterness and anger was total, as expressed by José Pedro Fuenzalida. “They hurt us and it was not accidental. It seems to me that it was something that there was little judgment on the part of the man in yellow who led us today. I have that feeling because I think that this group for what they did today deserved a better result, ”Chapa shot.
A statement that reflects the sentiment of the national dressing room, but that may well be worth a sanction to the multi-functional crusader, if the authorities consider that it questions the honesty of the arbitration.
Reinaldo Rueda was also consulted by the VAR, but he limited himself to answering with a rough and dry “no comment”, aware that a sincere reflection of what happened in the Centennial could lead to punishment.
As for football players, Fuenzalida rescued positive things. “Very happy for everyone who debuted. I think they played a good game, with a lot of personality. A well-established team was seen, which did things well. That leaves me calm. We know that we are in a process of change and today they showed us that there is a generation behind that can do things in a very good way ”, closed the captain of Universidad Católica.
The coach valued the delivery of his team and highlighted Alexis Sánchez. “I want to congratulate the Chilean team for the gallantry in the delivery and the good game. I think the team provided integrity. And in the specific case we have that great kindness with Alexis, who every time he comes to the National Team always assumes that leading role, showing his conditions and quality. Undoubtedly, with another rhythm in his club it would be different, but he has not had good fortune in recent months and that deprives him of showing a better level, “he said.
“I think the whole team was lavish, aware of the great kindness that Uruguay has, both with a great scorer like Suárez, as well as other important men in the middle of the field. These men did an excellent behavior to control the offensive work of Uruguay ”, he praised.
