Football, once again, was overshadowed by refereeing controversies. ADT beat Universitario 2-0 on matchday 14 of the Apertura Tournament, but a controversial action occurred prior to the hosts’ first goal, which even ended in the expulsion of the ‘cream’ coach, Fabián Bustos, and subsequent claim by administrator Jean Ferrari.

What happens is that Jairo Concha crossed and Aldo Corzo went to dispute the aerial ball with César Inga. The captain of the ‘U’ hit the ball with his shoulder and ended up off the field. In the ‘merengue’ team, they considered that he collided with the Tarmeño defender; However, the referee awarded a goal kick.

This is how goalkeeper Pedro Díaz rushed up and threw a pass behind the visiting defenders. This was taken advantage of by winger Joao Rojas, who ended up eluding Matías Di Benedetto and Rodrigo Ureña, and scoring a great goal for his club’s 1-0 lead.

Coach Bustos claimed with euphoria that it had been a corner in favor of Universitario and referee Edwin Ordoñez showed him the red card. After defeat, the Ferrari manager attacked the refereeing, stating that he tilted the field in favor of the ‘heavenly gale’ and harmed them in a decisive instance of the championship.

In that sense, the former Argentine referee and now FIFA advisor, Miguel Scime, clarified the controversy through his YouTube channel. According to the former international judge, Ordoñez made a mistake by not taking a corner kick in favor of Universitario, because the ball hit César Inga.

“The referee mistakenly did not observe that the ball was deflected by the local defender, a corner kick should have been sanctioned, which to the surprise of the visiting players, a goal kick was determined, a goalkeeper who quickly resumed, which from that error will end in goal for ADT,” he wrote.

Likewise, Scime explained why the video referee did not call the Peruvian referee to correct that charge. “This type of error is not contemplated for the VAR to proceed to participate, according to the guidelines and protocol. When the decision made depends on the referee’s criteria (for example, poorly executed throw-in, the distance of 9.15m in a free kick) the VAR should NOT intervene.”

The ball hit the Tarme player and must have been a corner kick, according to the Argentine referee.

Jean Ferrari, administrator of Universitario, exploded against Edwin Ordoñez for his actions in his club’s defeat. “The refereeing was regrettable. I have been a professional footballer for 20 years and I know when a referee tilts the field. Now, there are three dates left, what a coincidence about the arbitration,” he noted upon leaving the Unión Tarma stadium.

These words from the former player were responded to by Carlos Desio, ADT coach. The Argentine stated that he understands the manager’s fanaticism and the pain of the fall; However, he considers that the refereeing did not influence the result, because his team was superior in the League 1 match.

The ‘U’ will face Junior de Barranquilla on Tuesday, May 7 at 9:00 p.m. at the Monumental de Ate stadium for the Copa Libertadores 2024. This match, which corresponds to date 4, will be vital for the aspirations of the team led by Fabián Bustos, since he is currently positioned in third place and seeks to regain the leadership of Group D.
