The challenge of Marcelo Gallardo to the referees after the goal annulled to Borré

River reached the last date of the Super League with a point of advantage over Boca, but drew 1-1 against Atlético Tucumán and allowed the Xeneize, which beat Gymnastics 1-0, to snatch the title. In the José Fierro Monumental stadium, arbitration controversies were protagonists. The arbitration team headed by Patricio Loustau had a controversial performance, which included a poorly annulled goal against Rafael Santos Borré for a non-existent offside (sanctioned by assistant Gabriel Chade), and two penalties claimed by the Millionaire; one clear to Nacho Fernández -for lack of Heredia- and another doubtful for the seizure of Matías Suárez.

Marcelo Gallardo left the complaint sitting in the post-match press conference, but did not put the judges' mistakes as an excuse for the dilapidated opportunity. “I don't want to speak against the referees, in this case, Loustau seems to me one of the best referees, or the best. In the canceled goal they are in good position. When in doubt, he thought that raising the flag was right and he was wrong. In such a decisive match, on such a decisive court, you have to try to narrow the margin of error. They made mistakes as we all make. Let's not start throwing the shit the other way, "said the Doll, who at the end of the meeting greeted each of the members of the arbitration body with a handshake.

However, during the match, the technical director dedicated an energetic challenge to Mauro Vigliano, fourth referee in the home of the Dean. At the moment when the Colombian's goal is not validated when the duel was 0-0, the Doll demanded vehemently: "It's a final, it's a final, it has to be concentrated." The video was revealed by the TyC Sports Step by Step program. Before, in the distance, he told Loustau several times that the striker "was enabled."

The canceled goal also earned him a crossing with Matías Biscay, his main field assistant. When the alternate coach yelled at Vigliano continuously that Borré was enabled, he provoked the anger of the DT, who rebuked him: "Enough, Matías!" "For you to see me, idiot ...", Biscay justified himself.

 

After the repercussion for his discussed performance, Loustau had to give explanations about the controversial plays in Tucumán. “Borré's goal is a complex play, closely linked to the issue we will have regarding the VAR. In the penalty that Nacho claims, he takes advantage of the contact because he sees that the ball is going long, but does not have the intensity of knocking him down. And in the play of Matías Suárez there is a natural struggle, a slight stretch of shirts ... ”, he justified.

"I want to highlight the dignity of Gallardo, his manhood of good and his analysis of the game always above arbitral decisions," concluded the judge who was left in the eye of the storm.
