All eyes on Mexican football turned to the UANL University Stadium last night as Tigres and Chivas faced off in a final that featured a bit of showy football and a lot of strong legs and brawls. The result was a faithful reflection of a match that, as is usually the case with first leg finals, was boring for the spectators.
However, the disputes were so great that hours pass and no one stops talking about it. Above all because of one play in particular: Alejandro Mayorga’s very hard plate on Sebastian Córdova’s leg that should have ended in a expulsion, but referee Fernando Guerrero only decided to call him off and VAR intervened to correct the sanction. did not do.
In this regard, a meeting before the game in the middle of the playing field aroused suspicion and during the hours after the game all the spotlight settled there. The controversy was so great that Álvaro Morales himself took to Twitter to expose a situation that, according to him, would not have been the same had it been the other team.
This was the time when, minutes before the start of the game, Fernando Hierro jumped onto the field of play and met the entire refereeing team. He greeted them with respect, so far nothing unusual, but after the greetings, the historic former defender of Spain and Real Madrid continued to chat with each of them for a long time, which for Morales was proof of that. That Chivas is being favored.
Morales vilifies Chivas and even accuses his allies of double standards
Although the focus of his criticism was on the controversy that was the meeting between Hierro and the referee, he pointed against the reporters, saying that if this was America, they would be doing all the talking, but since it was the holy herd, No one says anything because there is media protectionism in it. A strong phrase that raises doubts about Mexican journalism.
