Controversial Argentine referee Patricio Loustau will be in charge of the match between Peru and Colombia for the quarterfinals of the Copa America Centenario. Do you remember him? Well, this referee has already officiated twice for Peru and has been very influential in the outcome.
Patricio Loustau is very remembered in Peru for the controversial actions he had in the match played in Lima between Peru and Uruguay for the previous qualifiers that left us without 'chances' to go to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The referee was heavily criticized by the fans after the expulsion of Yoshimar Yotún, which affected the performance of then team coached by Sergio Markarian.
The stamp of Godín on Guerrero that was not called, the elbow that opened Paolo's head that should have been red, and Lugano's aggression on Farfán that was only called as a yellow card.
Undoubtedly, this event is already in the past, but that doesn't mean that the Peruvian fans have forgotten his name. Patricio Loustau will have a new opportunity to show an impartial performance that does not influence the outcome of the match against Colombia.
