Last night while the Argentine National Team comfortably beat Peru to achieve ideal score in the group stage of the Copa America 2024, Chile y Canada They played a final to achieve second place in Group A.
This match ended in a goalless draw, a result that favored the Canadians who reached the quarterfinals. After the shock of being eliminated in the first phase, from the Chilean Football Federation They released a statement protesting the controversial performance of Wilmar Roldanthe main referee of the match.
“We present to you our deepest annoyance and dismay regarding the events that occurred in the match between the Chilean National Team and Canada.“, began the FFCh’s claim where it then detailed some considerations about Roldán’s arbitration.
Next, the main one targeted by the Chilean Federation was the Colombian Roldán, of whom they requested an immediate sanction: “The Chilean Football Federation requests that referee Mr. Wilmar Roldán be sanctioned with an indefinite and definitive suspension, and/or failing that, with the maximum sanction applicable to conduct as disastrous as those indicated, due to the blunders he committed. and that correspond to a recurring behavior of Mr. Roldán in those matches that he referees for the Chilean National Team, highlighting his absolute lack of impartiality.“, they said.
The question about the figure of the Colombian judge arises after yesterday’s tie with Canada. There they highlighted the blunders that they believe Roldán made, especially in the decision not to expel Bombito by an explicit nudge to Rodrigo Echeverria.
Then they argued their questioning of the expulsion of Gabriel Suazo which they described as inexplicable and incorrect, which conditioned Gareca’s team from the 27th minute of the first half.
Before expressing their discontent with Roldán, at another point they detailed how the decisions in general of the referees in the 2024 Copa América directing Chile were detrimental to those captained by Claudio Bravofirst with Walter Sampaio in the duel with Peru and then on Andrés Bully in the confrontation with Argentina, where they claim that the Argentine goal was offside and that they were not awarded a penalty.
