Controversial VAR Decision Sparks Debate: America’s Victory Questioned – The Last Word

America and controversy always go hand in hand. This Wednesday, the Coapa club won in Querétaro with a goal that had originally been disallowed by Diego Montaño, but the VAR suggested they review the play and changed their decision. With a long history of arbitration issues with the azulcremas, the panelists of La Última Palabra put their cards on the table to question the whistler.

The most outraged of all was Fernando Cevallos, the Chivabrother who is still hurt by the defeat in the Classic, and who assured that it was a “blatant foul” by Igor Lichnovsky that the Nazarene, for one reason or another, retracted and favored the Águilas in the final result, because that score meant the final 1-2.

“I understand that having America as the leader sees more, makes them sell more, but is this brazen? The VAR put America as the leader. The referee had seen her 3 meters away and called a foul, then they called him to make him doubt,” he said.

“It makes me angry that America wins like it won today. I understand that the League needs them at the top to sell, but today they win with a blatant foul by Lichnovsky,” he added.

The discussion regarding whether or not there was an infringement in Igor’s auction divided opinions, since Fabián Estay agreed with Cevallos when he saw an illegal situation. On the other side were Carlos Hermosillo and Alex Blanco, who applauded the fact that the referee retracted his decision to award the goal.

“América did show a reaction today, which Chivas did not have this weekend,” was the dart that Hermosillo threw at Cevallos, who previously argued that América only seems to be motivated by seeing the red and white shirt in front of them, in reference to the 4-0 of the Saturday.

“Let’s be clear because many are wrong about this. The VAR does not change the decisions, they suggest the referee look at the images and reconsider. The only one who can change the decision is the central referee,” Blanco said.
