Annoyance in Junior for the arbitration after the defeat against America: “It is not fair that they are wrong only with us”

From this Friday the second semester of Colombian professional soccer began. One of the most striking encounters of the first date in the Betplay League 2021-II has been the one who starred Cali America Y Junior from Barranquilla at the Pascual Guerrero stadium.

When the first half was about to end, the ‘Tiburon team took the lead: Juan David Rodriguez took a shot from medium distance that violated the goal guarded by Diego Novoa. Later, the play that aroused the controversy would arrive: Freddy Hinestroza, who was acting as captain in Junior, took a low free kick: the goalkeeper of América reacted and saved the ball over the line, although it was not clear if the ball entered or not, despite the participation of the VAR in the meeting. Those led by Luis Amaranth Perea they had the possibility to go up by two goals.

Finally, the ‘Escarlata’ team would end up coming back from the match in the last 15 minutes: Javier Ortíz put the tie at minute 77 ‘after a corner kick; the Chilean Rodrigo Ureña would score 2-1 after receiving a pass from Déinner Quinones in the crescent of the area; and already in injury time, Adrián Ramos would close the 3-1 by capitalizing on a Junior error at the start.

DISPUTE WITH ARBITRATION:

After the game, Hinestroza did not hide the team’s annoyance at the play of the free kick, because, for him, the ball did go completely and it should have been a goal in favor. “We do not ask that they give us anything because we know that we are going against everyone, but that they do not take away from us either. It is not fair that so many cameras are wrong only with us. It is no excuse, but It is not the first time this type of thing has happened, in this type of game“Said the forward on his Instagram account.

The question that many are now asking is: Was it or was it not a goal? Jose Borda, arbitration analyst of Snail Radio, said on Twitter about said play: “As Colombian Soccer does not have an Automatic Goal Detection System, the judge and the VAR decided that it did not completely pass the line because Novoa did not allow it. I did not see a goal How did you see it?

Meanwhile, the account known as El VAR Central (@ElVarCentral), which analyzes the refereeing moves in the course of the matches, specified that there is no absolute certainty about the validity of the annotation: “That is why the automatic goal detection system is recommended for this type of goal situations or not. goal. With VAR something like this can happen; and it is that today we all go to sleep without knowing if it was or it was not. No camera gives full clarity”.

For his part, the sports journalist, Paolo Arenas, also spoke on said social network, and assured that the ball did cross the goal line: “It is clear that the ball entered. You cannot understand how the VAR did not observe something that, really, is quite obvious”.

WHAT DID PEREA SAY?

After the commitment, the ‘Tiburon’ coach expressed that he is not clear about what happened, since he was far from the play; however, yes made it clear that such occurrences cannot serve as an “excuse” for defeat.:

“We cannot stay with those situations. The rivals did not collapse either. They started losing and came back. Those excuses, no. We are already old enough to understand that the game that was lost does not go through one or two details.”.

Without giving greater importance to the refereeing, Perea stressed that the defensive panorama of the team is delicate, adding the four goals received a few days ago in the South American Cup in view of Freedom of Paraguay: “It is a worrying situation. The goals, in the South American Cup, came due to our mistakes. Today was the same. The third goal is one more proof that we are wrong. If you add to that, rowing from behind and with one less man, everything gets worse. There are many things to correct. Until the expulsion, the game was balanced ”.
