Brigadier López video backs referee on contentious calls

Colón’s victory left plenty to discuss regarding the refereeing of Bryan Ferreyra. After carefully reviewing the footage of the key plays from the match against Los Andes, the verdict is definitive: the decisions made in the two most debated incidents were completely correct. The penalty awarded to El Sabalero was rightly given, and Ignacio Lago’s first goal was absolutely legitimate.

Below are the arguments supporting the referee’s decisions:

1. The penalty on Marcioni: The right decision

The first decisive action of the afternoon took place inside the Los Andes penalty area. Referee Ferreyra awarded a penalty to Colón after a clear foul on Julián Marcioni.

The analysis: The Los Andes defender was continuously grappling with the Colón attacker. By unbalancing him through a sustained hold, he prevented him from challenging for the ball on equal terms.
The verdict: A clear foul. Since there was holding and destabilization inside the box, awarding a penalty was fully in line with the current rules.

2. Nacho Lago’s goal: 100% onside

The second major doubt of the match came with Nacho Lago’s first goal of the day, where there were claims of a possible offside at the start of the play.

The analysis: At the exact moment Darío Sarmiento played the through ball, Nacho Lago was level with the last defender of the Lomas de Zamora side.
The verdict: A completely valid goal. Since he was not even a single millimeter ahead of the defender’s line, there was no offside and the play was entirely legitimate.
With these visual and technical arguments, it is clear that the officiating team got the most tense moments of the match right, validating the result earned on the field.
