The Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) reported this Sunday that has denounced the Brazilian referee Anderson Daronco before FIFA for his performance in the match between his team and Uruguay, in the South American qualifiers for Qatar 2022 , in which he did not concede a goal that would have tied the Blanquirroja.
“The FPF informs that he presented himself, last Friday , a resounding complaint to FIFA, regarding the actions of referee Anderson Daronco, due to publicly known facts,” the federation published in a brief statement.
He explained that he expects the “ prompt response from FIFA under a regular channel in its procedures ” and affirmed that the Peruvian team continues its preparation for the crucial match against Paraguay next Tuesday.
In addition he thanked the “spectacular” support of the Peruvian fans in Montevideo last Thursday and invited them to continue united with the conviction of reaching “the great goal in these qualifiers”.
The match against Uruguay, which ended with victory by La Celeste’s 1-0, was marked by Daronco’s decision not to concede a goal to Peru that would have equalized.
The play occurred in the final stretch of the match, when a center by Miguel Trauco was poisoned for the defense and was saved by the Uruguayan goalkeeper, Sergio Rochet, when, supposedly, there were burrs ado the goal line.

The word “theft” was chosen by fans on social networks, the media and even by the country’s president, Pedro Castillo, to refer to Daronco’s performance.
With this victory, Uruguay obtained its quota for the World Cup of 2021 a date before the end of the South American qualifiers, while the Blanquirroja is fifth and has its last option to qualify next Tuesday in Lima, where they will host Paraguay.
A victory is essential for Peru to maintain fifth place that gives access to the playoff against an Asian country. This Friday, the Peruvian team reported that the Peruvian winger André Carrillo suffered a sprain in the match against Uruguay and will miss the last match against Paraguay.
Peru will not count in the crucial match with Jefferson Farfán and his captain, Paolo Guerrero, who have not yet completed the recovery process from the injuries they are carrying since last year.
