Vasco 1 – 0 Solari: Monterrey defeats America with arbitration controversy involved

The America of Santiago Solari could not with the Rayados of Javier Aguirre , who took the victory by the minimum and in in the middle of a controversial referee.

The Las Águilas coach was able to direct from the bench and made some changes with respect to his previous line-up, removing Mauro Láinez from the start and putting the young Santiago Naveda in the midfield.

However, Solari’s tactical stop was not enough to beat a solid Monterrey, who took advantage of a defense error to perfection.

At minute 33, the referee marked a hand from Ramón Juárez in an attempted shot by Ponchito González. However, the penalty should not have been penalized because the hand was not directly and the ball hits first in the chest and then in the hand.

America falls on his visit to Monterrey! 🚨
