The Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) did not stand idly by and filed a lawsuit against Brazilian referee Anderson Daronco, all because of the controversy that was unleashed in the match between Uruguay vs. Peru at the Centenario Stadium, since a legitimate goal was not awarded to the Bicolor in the final minutes.

For that reason, this document prepared by the highest entity of Peruvian soccer is to set a precedent regarding the refereeing that the Ricardo Gareca's team will have in the future, especially in the upcoming match against Paraguay, as the option to reach the playoffs for the Qatar 2022 World Cup is at stake.
In addition, according to the information handled by El Comercio, the request from Videna is for FIFA to further investigate the refereeing issue, specifically in the controversial play involving goalkeeper Sergio Rochet, in order to determine if there was any irregularity and to sanction all those responsible in an exemplary manner, whether it be the on-field referees and/or those in charge of the VAR.
In the event that FIFA manages to obtain evidence that there was indeed negligence that affected fair play and transparency regarding said action, the FPF has made it clear that the match against Uruguay should be replayed.
However, this investigation that FIFA would carry out against Brazilian referee Anderson Daronco would take some time, so at the moment, the Peruvian National Team is focusing on the match against Paraguay, a match of utmost importance in order to secure a ticket to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
