The sanction contrasts with the events that went around the world, where Osorio lost his head because the referees did not notice the seriousness of the player’s injury. Colombian Christian Rivera after hitting his head with an LAFC player and he first attacked the referee who acted as the fourth official and then the linesman, whom he confronted and was on the verge of attacking.
