Say it, but without saying it directly. Thus, precisely referee Marco Antonio Ortiz, He sent a message through a video on his Instagram account, where he shows that he neither suffers nor is distressed by the criticism that his work has received in the grand final of the last tournament, Clausura 2024, by scoring a penalty in favor of the America, which three weeks later remains a topic of controversy both for and against.

In a few words, Ortiz wanted to express how he feels right now. After all the time that has passed and where he has been able to review and analyze his work in the definitive game between América vs. Cruz Azul and where the whistler scored a maximum penalty in the 72nd minute of the match in favor of the Águilas, which touched the most sensitive fibers of the Cruz Azul fans when they considered that they had made a mistake in their assessment of him.
