This time, the one who shouted to the sky was Peruthat during the match against Uruguay and with one minute remaining in the match He shot at the goal and made the Uruguayan goalkeeper save him behind the goal line and leave the ball in a doubtful limit despite which the referee did not apply the review through the video arbitration system and did not validate the goal either.

The play took place in the 91st minute of the duel that was played at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo, shortly before the closing of the triumph of the local team by 1 to 0which allowed him to secure qualification for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

One minute before the end of the match, the Peruvian team led by the Argentine Ricardo Gareca risked a ball to the goal that made the Uruguayan goalkeeper Sergio Rochet get in with the ball in his hand.

The visitors begin to shout the both, but the Brazilian referee Anderson Daronco considered that the ball did not enter In its whole. The peculiarity is that the referee made that decision without stopping the match. He made the query to the technicians and assistants, but did not personally review the VAR system installed on the field of play.

Daronco ignored the Peruvian claim and let the development of the party continue. The dissemination of the analysis of the videos of the play were later and determined that the ball had not completely passed through the projection of the goal line. But the game was already over.

But now he will only have to content himself with ensuring the playoff with a victory in the duel with Paraguay in Lima, next Tuesday, and as long as Colombia and Chile do not win.

The Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero was the most emphatic when speaking: “With all due respect to Conmebol, the referees and all the people who belong to the VAR, this is not fair. It is unacceptable. I hope they do something because a lot was at stake in this game and everyone knows it”, he declared.
