After what happened last Wednesday in the university classic for Copa Chile, where fans of the Catholic University threw flares onto the field and injured the goalkeeper of the U Martín Parra, the issue became the theme of the week in sports panels .
In fact, this Thursday the situation was addressed on ESPN, where they talked about the decision made by the Chilean Football Federation in the face of the serious incidents that took place in Valparaíso: the match will be retrograded from minute 5 and the Crusaders will play without an audience What remains of the contest?
Of course, it was precisely that opinion that generated the fury of Diego Rivarola. “If you do not go to something strict, if something different is not done, this will continue to happen the same. The punishment that Católica receives today, for me, is a joke. And the way it happened is even funnier “, attacked” Goku “.
And along the same lines, he added: “it is that he will not be able to play the games that come in the Chile Cup. What if it’s just one game? Did they miss the punishment?
Immediately afterwards, the former bulla striker starred in a tense crossover with Waldemar Méndez, who gave him his position on the matter. “That is in the regulations. That happened to Católica, but he could easily happen to any of the big three”.
“The regulation itself says so. If it had happened to La U, they would have the right to continue playing the same match; if it had happened to Colo Colo, they would have had the same right,” added the former goalkeeper.
Of course, none of that served to calm the waters and Rivarola insisted on his point. “I am not saying it because I am Catholic or because I am Colo Colo. Either way, even the other way around, it’s a joke”, he vented.
“We are talking about the punishments, you are mixing things up. We are not talking about the games that decide the points, we are talking about the punishments”, he concluded.
