Two days have passed but the annoyance seems far from being a matter of the past: Colombia fell 2-1 against Brazil in the America Cup and the work of referee Nestor pitana it continues to be the subject of analysis … and complaints.
The president of the Colombian Federation (FCF), Ramón Jesurún, explained the reasons for sending Conmebol’s protest note, which calls for sanctions and those responsible for a situation that, in his opinion, precipitated the Colombian defeat.
“We would believe that it did not even merit that he had to go to VAR, but that he should land the ball, but he let play and it became a promising attack and it was a goal for Brazil. Sad, painful, because the game had been very well planned by Professor Reinaldo Rueda, the players had been working with a lot of discipline and tactical order and generated, which in our opinion, was the outcome of a game that is lost when we never deserved that to happen, “he said in a talk with Blu Radio.
Jesurún pointed out that the claim of the FCF had all the advice of the case and that it was not only a bad taste due to the defeat: “the FCF made the respective claim before Conmebol asking that these facts be deepened and investigated, we consider that it is a very clear human error, suddenly shared, not only by the central referee and we hope that within the analysis of the specialists they will make a decision. Our technical advisers, who know about refereeing, who after the game, interpreted and helped us with everything that it happened giving the foot and the assurance that our claim is fair “.
Conmebol, the same night of the game, published the audios of the conversation between the members of the VAR and Pitana and supported one hundred percent of the work of everyone on the field. Will you change your mind over Colombia’s claim? It remains to be seen if there is at least one consolation.
