Superclasico should have been 5-0, 5-1
By: Albert | April 14th, 2008
What else would you expect form Jorge Vergara, Chivas owner. This guy is always looking for an opportunity to talk trash. Latest quote is: “We helped Romano break records, he has 20 games without a win. He also said it should have been 5-0 or 5-1.
This may be true, but wow, not very nice. Romano was seen after the game complaining to the refs for bad calls, even though the 1 penalty awarded to America was an iffy one, and in my opinion not worthy of calling a pk. What would have been a PK is if Avila would have let himself fall after Memo Ochoa came out to challenge him and brushed his leg and knocked him off balance. Avila stayed with the play and scored the goal.
Sergio Santana scored 2 goals to lead the Chivas to victory. Omar Bravo had some clear opportunities but failed against Memo Ochoa to reach the 100 goal mark.
To add insult to injury, Venado Medina and Juan Carlos Silva received yellow cards for an incident where Silva was tripped up and fell on the ball with his stomach. Medina then proceeded to kick and kick the ball until Silva got upset and started a shoving match. Players all gathered into a little scuffle. Silva was given the yellow, then the Chivas players reminded the ref that Silva had previously received a yellow, so he was then given the red card and America was down to 10 men.
In the end, Chivas gained a deserved victory over the bottom feeding Aguilas and continue to be Superlider in the Table.

Chivas should have had at least 5 goals and Bravo should have had his 100th and 101st goal. At least. Too bad we sometimes suck at out finishing.
But the penalty was correctly called. The tackle was perfect but Maza lifted his leg up right afterwards and thats why it was given.

It’s a shame Bravo didn’t get his 100th goal. I think America got the penalty because of the intention Rodriguez had .. since he lifted his foot back up.
Damn what a shame with America.. what a terrible crisis.

Why was Medina booked?
The ball was in play and Silva was obsructing it - Medina was wholly within his rights to play the ball. Silva’s reaction should have got him a straight red.
fuck Vergara, fuck Chivas, and fuck America - it’s not a shame, its thoroughly enjoyable…
