Alejandro Hohberg was the protagonist of a controversial play in the Universitario vs César Vallejo match on Matchday 12 of the Clausura Tournament of Liga 1 at Estadio Mansiche in Trujillo. What did referee Yovani Quevedo interpret? Watch the video and draw your own conclusions.
It happened at 41' of the first half. Víctor Cédron from César Vallejo and Armando Alfageme from Universitario fought for a ball that ended with a tackle from crema Alejandro Hohberg.
The player came to take the ball, but ended up slipping and touching the ball with his hand inside Universitario's penalty area. Here are the images.

Yovani Quevedo, who was a couple of meters away from the action, did not call a handball (and therefore a penalty) by Alejandro Hohberg and asked to continue the match normally.
Universitario needs to draw or win against César Vallejo to not lose the leadership of the Clausura Tournament of Liga, which is currently held by Sporting Cristal due to goal difference.
