The images were just outrageous.</p>
<p><strong>Leon</strong> were winning the game in minute 63′ when <strong>America</strong> scored the 1-1 in a controversial play with a possible handball. After the goal, referee <strong>Fernando Hernandez</strong> never went to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-when-was-the-first-time-var-was-used-at-a-fifa-world-cup-20221112-0028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>VAR</strong></a>for reviewing and the players from <strong>Leon</strong> started to complain talking face to face with Hernandez.</p>
<p>Suddenly, <strong>Lucas Romero</strong>, one of Leon’s players, fell to the ground. In the TV broadcast, the announcers thought he was exaggerating a supposed contactby <strong>Fernando Hernandez</strong>, but then a replay clearly showed that the referee hit him with the knee. Of course, all the situation became a scandal in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Mexico-national-soccer-team-schedule-in-2023-20230129-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mexico</strong></a>.</p>

<p>After the scramble, the game continued and ended in a 2-2 tie. However, the referee just lost control of the match and even coaches from both teams, <strong>Fernando Ortiz</strong> (America) and <strong>Nicolas Larcamon</strong> (Leon), almost started a fight. Larcamon ended with a rip on his shirt.<span></span></p>

<p>Liga MX already confirmed that the incident is under investigation and the consequences could be huge for <strong>Fernando Hernandez</strong>. According to the rules in Mexico, a 15-game suspension could be the minimum for the referee and a full-year sanction is clearly a possibility. Furthermore, <strong>FIFA</strong> could take away his international badge.<span></span></p>
