In a match of the caliber of Tigres UANL vs. America had to have controversy and controversy, in this case for a disallowed goal.
The match was won by Club América 0-2 away against Tigres; the fifth consecutive under the command of interim coach Fernando Ortiz.
When the minute was ticking 42, with the Águilas up on the scoreboard, Diego Valdés scored from a direct free kick on the edge of the area… But the referee immediately annulled the goal because supposedly Nahuel Guzmán, the archer of the felines, dropped by an alleged physical discomfort.
The Azulcrema protested to the match judge Fernando Hernández Gómez, who whistled for the annulment, but seconds before the foul was called the goalkeeper Guzmán was perfectly positioned.
The action was widely criticized by social networks, in which users called him a “cheater” and t also “pool player”.
Finally in the repetition the person in charge of the shot was Federico Viñas, who slipped and could not give direction to the ball that was crashed into the Tigres barrier.
A murky record of the referee and Club América
Referee Fernando Hernández Gómez has recent history with the Águilas del América. On date 8 he expelled from the game between the Eagles vs. Gallos Blancos de Querétaro to midfielder Alejandro Zendejas.
In that match, the capital lost 1-0 and it was the last of the Argentine coach Santiago Solari on the bench, it was the straw that broke the camel’s back due to the poor results that had them last in the classification of the Closing Tournament 2022 of the Liga MX.
But in 2017 was involved in an even more difficult controversy. During a match between Xolos de Tijuana and América, Fernando Hernández received a header from Paraguayan central defender Pablo Aguilar, currently at Cruz Azul.
The aggression cost the center back 15 sanction games, one of the hardest and most severe in recent years in Mexican soccer.
