Honduran coaching staff, players and media attack refereeing of match against Mexico

Honduras eliminated with a bitter taste this Tuesday at Aztec Stadium. Even the Central American players, classified in the last seconds of the match, could not resist the Tricolor’s draw in the match. minute 90+11′But still penalty what the players won Jimmy Lozano.

Two decisions particularly affected the party, and Hondurans, both the press and Bicolor leaders, highlighted this by condemning what they considered scandal: total 13 minutes additional time, which allowed Edson Alvarez draw 2-2 on aggregate, and decision repeat Cesar Chino’s penalty twice Garden, who managed to score on the third attempt.

The first corresponding reaction was that of the Honduran players. Several people reported being robbed after a penalty shootout. “Only in Mexico does this happen“said J.Osef Rosales.

Juan Francisco Sybe Stefan, vice president Honduran Football Federation“Fenafut”, condemned “robberyin the mixed zone, addressing Mexican journalists. Shirt, money and country they weighed armed robbery“I’ve never seen such a robbery in my life.”said.

In general (I’m upset), there are ways. If I come here and they score three goals, I applaud and go home, that’s football. But for the referee to decide that 9 minutes are given, this is normal, he gives 9 minutes, there are 11 minutes left, why are we still playing, 13 minutes.

He further explained that Concacaf did everything possible to Mexico qualifies for the 2024 Copa America.

We were treated very well by the federation president and the Mexican national team. I have no complaints about Mexico. I complain about the structure they claim they have to act by force.

He also condemned the imbalance of power between Mexico and Hondurasand this was aggravated by the arbitration of El Salvador Ivan Barton.

The same thing happened to Canada, they were given 12 minutes and unfortunately didn’t score against Jamaica. The idea and the clear line was that Canada and Mexico would go directly to the America’s Cup, and that bothers me, that’s very wrong. Mexico is too big a team, too big a country for this to happen, and I think the Mexican fans understand that this is too big a team for Mexico.

Technical Director of the Bicolor company, Reynaldo Ruedaassured that he appeared at the press conference only “out of respect for journalists” and stated that arbitration “was”a shame for Latin American football‘.

However, the most offensive reaction was from journalists And Honduran media.

He Diary Tenin X and in its edition of November 22, dismembered arbitration And Concacaf All night long. In a draw, in a Chino penalty replay or after the match Central American sports newspaper was highlighted.

Other reactions were added to these reactions. Honduran journalists in your personal account.

For their part, Mexican journalists and commentators defend themselves, explaining that in prison ‘Chino Huerta’failed on the first two attempts, goalkeeper Menjívar advancedAnd I didn’t have one foot on the line at the time of shooting.

As for the 13 minutes of extra time, Mexican commentators justified this by saying that the Hondurans lost when the game changed. Luis Palma by Devron Garcia in that minute 90+8′. They also noted the goalkeeper’s injury. Menjivar working overtime, which resulted in even more time wasted.

Some explanations that Honduran press does not accept:

However, criticism of the arbitration also came from Mexican journalists. When criticizing Tricolor’s game, especially all the missed moments(Total 38 shots11 goals and 2 goals each), commentators question the delivery of the Salvadoran referee.

In a chain Fox Sportsjournalists argued all night about arbitration. One of them explained that for him, Malagon also made an illegal save:

On penalties, Malagon, if you check, is exactly the same ahead. This is the part I think I should see.

A version that other journalists reject.

Speaking of Chino Prison, where Menjivar went ahead, which caused double repetitionone commentator states:

If it had been the other way around, if Malagon had gone forward, would he have done the same thing again? Three times ?

Honduras will play against Costa Ricato try to get a ticket to the 2024 exhibition. America’s Cup in the United States.
