The defeat against Uruguay (0-3) is a backbone that continues down the throat of Carlos Queiroz. The Portuguese coach assures that Colombia was hampered in this qualifying match for the World Cup-2022 and left harsh criticism to the referees, making the analogy between the VAR and the Covid-19 pandemic.

«We are facing a disease, COVAR, that nobody understands. Neither the coaches nor the players, ”says the coach during the preview of Tuesday’s duel with Ecuador, also counting for the South American qualification.

At stake is a penalty not awarded in favor of the Colombians when they still lost 0-1: “Not whistling that penalty, when the referee is four meters away, it’s almost criminal.

A play, Queiroz considers, that could have changed “the whole game”: “I am outraged by the referees. The referee [n.d.r. o argentino Fernando Rapallini] It should give our Federation a justification why it did not score a penalty that was clear to everyone. “

In that match in Barranquilla, Uruguay won with goals from Cavani, Luis Suárez and Darwin Núñez from Benfica.
