The great controversy of the weekend that unleashed a scandal that rose to leadership spheres was the classic between Independiente and Racing.
And it was
Mauro Vigliano
, the referee who charged
the unusual penalty
that decided the game, who expressed himself in the last hours.
"I want to make it clear that the referee is the first one who wants his game to have no problems, without errors. I had a serious error in the last play of the game. It is painful for us. I understand the player, the fan and the part of the world that feels harmed, "Vigliano said in dialogue with
TyC Sports
.
"In a fraction of a second, with a single shot, the moment the action happens we have to make a decision within the 200 that are made in 90 minutes.
To err in a gravitating decision is painful,
" he added about the play of the end. of the week that ended with the triumph of Racing in Avellaneda.
The judge, pointed out fully by all Independiente, recognized that "the images are eloquent ... On the field we evaluate intensities, intentions at the moment. On the field I saw a play with entity to sanction a penalty and that is not reflected in the images that I could see later. "
"We are used to the claim of the player. Sometimes we see that it is genuine and we can perceive it, in others not. In this match the Independiente players had a claim that seemed genuine but it could come because it was the last minute ... I was convinced until the end that it was criminal, "he confessed about the hottest moment in Avellaneda.
And he added: "I looked for the play, it did not have a good signal in the dressing room and we could see it ... At that moment you do not fall, you want to apologize. You wonder how you could not do it well."
Likewise, Vigliano tried to lower the decibels and ruled out any intentionality in his bad decision, as denounced by Pablo Moyano, vice president of Independiente.
"
This has nothing to do with politics
. We are referees and we are exposed to this type of situation due to the nature of our work ... It is an arbitration error, typical of quick action. There is nothing more than that."
What had the Truckers leader's son said?
: "I don't know if Vigliano charged it. I think the prison charged it (Claudio) Tapia. The truth is that what happened with Independiente was shameful. Not only have we been harmed in the previous four years of the macrismo, but while keep the macrista Independent AFA going to continue to be harmed. What happened yesterday (on Saturday) with Vigliano was a circumstance.
Vigliano is a poor guy who will have had thousands of reasons
to collect what he received. "
Already Federico Beligoy, in charge of the arbitration appointments, had advanced that Vigliano was going to be stopped after his gross error at the end of the classic.
But the match judge in Avellaneda also stressed that "the situation of Lucas González (NdR: Independiente player) with Novillo was unfortunate but there are many of those plays and it is never a deliberate or card action. These blows to the head are almost they are entirely unintentional, casual; no one wants to bang head to head. "
