Tonight, the Scarlets slowed down a bit on the path they are trying to recover from a loss Blue cross and they leave the third place they occupy until Day 10. For their part, the Potosi squad go up at a slow pace, but with the assurance of adding, even with draws.
The arbitration was notable for its failures and the VAR for the confusion that they continue to feed date after date. 8th minute of the game and the controversy appeared. A valid goal of the Red Devils was annulled by both the whistle and the video referee system.
The argument was that the ball did not end within Axel Werner’s goal, although the photos showed how the local goalkeeper held the ball but was already over the goal line.
After the emotional blow, Toluca showed more play with his best player, Rubens Sambueza. From the side of the rivals, German Berterame was the one who represented danger, without making it effective for the purpose of Alfredo Saldívar.
The first half ended and we went to the complement in which the tenor of the showdown was similar to a new appearance of the VAR. At 65 ‘, Hernández Gómez whistled a penalty in Toluca’s favor after a foul by Ricardo Chávez on Enrique Triverio. With the decision made, the video arbitration requested the referee to review it to confirm and he went to the monitor. After about five minutes, the maximum penalty was imposed.
Pedro Canelo picked up the ball, put it on the dot and fired with little force, a factor that helped Werner to save and achieve a kind of sports justice because the criminal court generated divided opinions.
In the last stretch and looking for victory for their own, Berterame he had a very clear scoring chance for Saldívar’s frame. One mistake of it Jorge Torres Nilo wasted by the player from Potosi, as he was left alone in the area, slipped and couldn’t define it.
