Claudio Martín slams Comesaña: “Was he sent to call it off?”

The former referee shared his opinion on what happened with Lucas Comesaña last Sunday in Jujuy, which led to the suspension of the match between Gimnasia de Jujuy and Deportivo Madryn.

I have refereed in Jujuy many times, I never had any issues, most of the time the team lost. We have even walked to the hotel on occasion. Honestly, I find it surprising that this guy was threatened, or maybe he already had the order that the match had to be suspended.

The first half was normal, except for a penalty that wasn’t given to the Jujuy team, which is hard to see, it’s not an easy call, with VAR they would have fixed it, but the player who was sent off, in my opinion, deserved it too, he committed two fouls, they sent him off correctly, and the first half didn’t seem like a situation where someone would go and threaten the referee in the locker room. Honestly, it’s a strange thing, they rushed a lot there with a double yellow, I think it was, to send the report almost before the referee had even written his own report, it’s crazy. So honestly, I don’t know what’s going to happen with this.

It seems like we should pay a bit of attention to Caruso, who at times I think goes too far, but that idea of a fan strike wouldn’t be so bad. The strange thing about this is that Comesaña hadn’t appeared in a match for a while, and they put him in a decisive match, precisely with Mal’s team, which apparently is one of the teams favored by those in power. Honestly, I don’t know, I don’t think this will end well.
