Last Saturday, Barcelona SC couldn’t hold on to a 2-0 lead against Aucas and ended up losing 3-2 in the Pro League 9th round clash held in Quito.

The Canaries finished with 10 players in this match after Uruguayan defender Carlos Rodríguez was sent off due to a double yellow in the 62nd minute.

With this in mind, Antonio Alvarez, president of the Bulls Football Commission, did not hide his discomfort with the performance of the arbitration team led by Jaime Sánchez.

“It was a strange game, nobody understands that second yellow (card) they gave Rodríguez, something inexplicable, incomprehensible and that changed the game. It was very painful and we lost undefeated,” he said.

“What happened seemed like a nightmare. That’s why people get discouraged, there are no guarantees in football. “I don’t like to talk about refereeing, but that’s why sometimes you lose that desire to go to the stadium because people are upset, they’re not blind or stupid and they understand how much they’re hurting their teams,” he added in a radio interview. Huancavilca.

The manager insisted that his team had been damaged for some time and pointed out that “we have to pray” that the referee has good leadership.

“This is notorious, until when? Rodríguez had to get up, they grabbed his leg, so what does he get up with, air? He gets up, they send him off and they don’t say anything to the referee from VAR and they cause us damage”, he commented.

“You have to pray the rosary about 700 times so that, please, the referee blows the whistle correctly, to be at the height and not to harm anyone,” concluded Alvarez. (D)
