Alexander Callens exploded after Peru's canceled goal against Uruguay: “We've been robbed. It was goal”

The Peruvian national team lived with a bitter taste this 1-0 defeat against their Uruguayan counterpart for the 17th date of the South American Qualifiers. A few minutes before the end of the match, the referee didn't get paid, and he didn't even review a goal in favor of the 'bicolor' that could have totally changed the history of the match or, even, could have meant a valuable draw for national interests. In that sense, Alexander Callens exploded in the face of this controversial situation and classified it as a robbery.

“I told the referee to check it and he told me he checked it. But I tell him that all people say it's a goal. Now they just showed me the image and it's a complete goal. We've been robbed. It's a robbery, it's a VAR,” commented the national defender in statements at the end of the match for reporter Michael Succar, from Movistar Deportes.

It was his only argument: “Yes, that's all he said to me. I told him to check it out and he said, “we checked it out.” But I told him to go to the VAR. A party of this magnitude cannot happen this.”
