Javier Castrilli supports Chile after controversial match with Argentina

Argentina beat 1-0 Chili in New Jersey, for the second date of Group A of the America Cupbut the result took a back seat, due to the refereeing horrors that helped the world champions.

There was a possible penalty by Cuti Romero on Víctor Dávila, a clear red card for a foul by Rodrigo de Paul on Gabriel Suazo and the goal for the Albiceleste was from a dubious position, but the Uruguayan Andrés Matonte decided to take it all in favour of his neighbours.

The Uruguayan’s controversial performance has been widely commented on and one who spoke out was Javier Castrilli, former Argentine referee and also former head of the arbitration commission in Chile.

Castrilli’s opinion

The former iron judge used his X account to analyze De Paul’s play with Suazo, and like almost everyone, except Matonte, he said that it was red for the Atlético Madrid player.

“He put the opponent’s physique at risk… it doesn’t matter if it was unintentional… it’s ‘rough and serious play’… it should have been a direct expulsion,” said Javier Castrilli.

Chile was conditioned in the Copa América by referee decisions and on Saturday they will be forced to win against Canada.
