  1. No sanctions for that at 20’ is absurd. Complete and total insanity.

    1. For the foul or reaction?

      The foul, absolutely not. Jimenez launches himself around the Ecuador player completely off balance and leaves his feet of his own choice. Foul call is fine, but no chance it’s anything more.

  2. Great onside decision by ar1 for goal in 22

  3. That is exactly what Collina wants for game management. A bit of drama from the Mexican player not bought by the referee.
