The ESPN arbitral analyst considered that referee Cesar Arturo Ramos made a mistake by not calling a foul on Sebastian Cordova inside the area
The former referee Felipe Ramos Rizo considered that referee Cesar Arturo Ramos should have awarded a penalty in favor of Tigres in the reclasification match against Necaxa, for a foul that Sebastián Córdova received in the area.
"Minute 29 penalty on Córdova that César Ramos does not penalize," indicated the analyst from ESPN through his social media, after the play that occurred during the match played at the Estadio Universitario.
The felines were left with one less player at 19 minutes due to the expulsion of Javier Aquino, but the home team remained the most threatening in front of the opponent's goal.
Precisely in their search to take the lead for the UANL team, Sebastián Córdova reached the opponent's area, but was pushed by Alexis Peña, which was not penalized by the referee, so the match remained tied.
Tigres fought to take the advantage on the scoreboard against a Necaxa team that did not take advantage of the numerical superiority on the field, which is why the first half of the match remained scoreless.
Felinos and Rayos seek to secure their spot in the quarterfinals through the reclasification, after the Neoléon team finished in fifth place in the general table of the Torneo Apertura 2022, while the visitor finished in twelfth place.
At the beginning of the second half, Ramos Rizo once again criticized Cesar Arturo Ramos for cautioning Facundo Batista after a tackle from behind, in which he cautioned the Necaxa forward.
After consulting the VAR, the referee ended up sending off Batista, leaving the match with 10 players on each team.
