Last Sunday, University In matchday 2 of the opening match, Alianza lost 3-1 against Atlético. They were not embarrassed just because they lost their 12-game unbeaten streak in the ‘Jorge Fossati era’ or somehow got away from their goal of winning their first tournament of the year, but because of the performance of referee Augusto Menendez. Creams were left with eight players after the relegation Nelson Cabanilas, Alto Corso and Rodrigo Urena. However, what worried more than one in the Merengue organization was the red card for the side – the left midfielder.

If it was just for applause, it wouldn’t be grounds for sending off under the rules.“A former member of the CONMEBOL Commission said on his social networks.

A few hours later, he revealed it on RBP “If it was just clapping, it would only be punished with a yellow card. If the referee’s figure had a very offensive or insulting expression or gesture, it would have been a red. But I didn’t see it.”
