Peru vs. Uruguay: Referee Daronco had a history of blunders in the Brazilian Super Cup final

Minutes into the end, a shot by Miguel Trauco ended with the ball and Uruguayan goalkeeper Sergio Rochet inside the goal. It was the right draw in a balanced match and for Peru the possibility of a direct qualification to Qatar 2022, but the black ones decided that the night painted to be a controversy, which despite the publication of the VAR by Conmebol hours later, would still generate many doubts

And even this play would be more controversial because the Brazilian Anderson Daronco, let the game continue and when Alexander Callens, the defender of the Peruvian national team, asked him to consult the VAR, the one in black signaled that he had already been warned from the VAR that the ball had not entered the goal. However, in this type of play it is usually not analyzed by the VAR in a minute. They take time, they argue, they pass the image over and over again and they have to draw the line that decides whether the goal is valid or not. That takes time and usually, the referee stops the game and goes to the screen to watch the controversial play in situ, but Daronco didn't do that.

BRAZILIAN REFEREE ALREADY HAS A HISTORY OF DECIDING WRONG IN DEFINING DUELS

This is not the first time that Anderson Daronco, a Brazilian referee, has been involved in sports scandals. This year a month ago he made two serious mistakes in the final of the Brazilian Super Cup, in the match between Atlético MG and Flamengo, which during the 90 minutes was equalized 2-2 and was defined in a penalty shootout, where Atlético MG won 8-7-

Anderson Daronco, was the chief judge of that party and made two major mistakes. In the first half he failed to score or went unattended, after a provisional hand touch from defender Nathan Silva of Atlético MG, who cut a counterattack by Flamengo, in a play that would at least be a yellow card. In addition, in the second half, he only applied a yellow card to Joao Gomes, who entered with his foot above and violently beat Vargas, in a play that deserved to be a red card.

In the penalty shootout, there was another strange event in the match when the player Hulk took a penalty twice in favor of Atlético MG. This event can only happen when all players, including the goalkeeper, commits a penalty and the match is still tied. This situation was a confusing event.

In this way, the record of referee Anderson Daronco is not at all favorable. Even the strange thing is that this referee was the first time he led Peru but he already has four matches leading Uruguay to his credit and had a precedent of favoring the Charrúas, after his performance in the Uruguay vs. Ecuador of these qualifiers when he missed a red card kick against Uruguayan Nández and a play in which Gimenez committed penalty against Ecuadorian Michael Estrada, where his leg was badly injured.
