Uruguay and Chile faced each other at the Centennial Stadium for the first day of the Qualifiers towards Qatar 2022, which left the celestial team as the winner, after winning 2-1, in a match that was adorned by controversy.
In the 89th minute, with the score 2-1 in favor of the Charrúa, Sebastián Coates committed a clear hand inside the area, which was not sanctioned by the referee Éber Aquino or by the VAR judges, unleashing the fury of the players and fans, who, in the face of the notable error, did not stop recriminating the bad performance of the referee.
Precisely, one of those who expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee’s decision was Iván Zamorano, historical player of ‘la roja’, who through his Twitter account spoke and classified the match as a ‘real robbery’, and also criticized strongly to the Conmebol:
“Robbery from Chile, no comment !! Very clear penalty !!”, and added: “Until when are these thefts allowed in South America? Who handles the referees? Authentic thieves !! Game given to Uruguay”wrote the former striker.
Likewise, players like Claudio Bravo, Gary Medel, among others, expressed their disagreement with the arbitration decisions, since the penalty could mean the tie of the match against Uruguay.
Until when are these thefts allowed in South America? Who handles the referees,? Real thieves !! game given to Uruguay
